Dear Reader:
The TimesOC B2B Publishing Team is proud to introduce a new annual publication, Orange County Visionaries – Trends, Updates & Visionaries. In this first issue, we take a look at a variety of factors affecting the region’s business climate as well as shine a spotlight on several individuals who are making a significant impact in their respective fields.
As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and 2022 comes to a close, there is cause for optimism as evidenced by increased investments in the community and local businesses as well as improvements to Orange County’s infrastructure, healthcare and education.
All of the visionaries profiled in this magazine have displayed exemplary leadership and achieved noteworthy accomplishments in the areas of banking and finance, commercial real estate, education and nonprofits, healthcare, and professional services. Their backgrounds and contributions to the community are truly inspiring.
The forward-looking approaches of local government and business leaders are positioning the region to meet the demands of a growing population and leading the way into the next decade, elevating Orange County’s desirability as a world-class place to live, work and play.
