This year’s inaugural C-Suite Awards have identified 20 individuals as the region’s top leaders and outstanding performers in their areas of expertise, as well as for their contributions and commitment to their professions and the local community. Among the honorees are Stan Jones ’00MBA, Alexandra Robertson ’11 ’12MBA, and Teresa Sturges ’05MBA.

This year’s Rollins honorees bring decades of industry-shaping expertise to the table as leaders in health, tech, and architectural development.

Originally an engineer, Jones gravitated toward management, receiving his MBA from Crummer in 2000 and making the leap to overseeing Finfrock’s construction division soon after.
