Leadership & Perseverance: Our Most Admired CEOs are Navigating Their Companies Through Uncharted Waters

Vertex is proud to announce their Vertex President, CEO and Chairperson of the Board, David DeStefano, has been named one of the most admired CEOs for 2020 by the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The role of being a CEO requires planning, preparing for new challenges and always being ready for what's next. Add a global pandemic into the mix and, well, things quickly change. The Philadelphia Business Journal's Most Admired CEOs for 2020 are demonstrating the skills needed to lead their companies past the current hurdles and into the future. The publication received over 80 nominations for this year's awards and pared down the list to 28 — a group that includes two companies with dual CEOs. In addition to leading their companies, this year's honorees are also doing their part to better the Philadelphia region through philanthropic and civic work.
