Dean Singleton, publisher for the Denver Post and chairman for MediaNews Group, has undertaken an ambitious project to transform the papers’ operations to fit the increasingly digital habits of readers.  Keep up the good work Dean!

Kent Thiry, chairman and CEO of Denver based DaVita Inc., in coming off the biggest year of growth for his company in 2012.  Already one of the largest kidney-care providers in the United States, DaVita is growing internationally and expanding into comprehensive health management as well.  Truly visionary work Kent!

Hugh Gottschalk is the CEO of Wheeler Trigg-O’Donnell, which is recognized nationally for its significant experience in commercial litigation.  WTO helped get a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit against Chrysler Group, which will likely influence other pending cases against the automaker.  Great work Hugh!
