The Official Top 100 Magazine

We are pleased to announce that Steven Mamis will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine. Steven Mamis is the founder and managing partner of FORCS, a New York City-based company providing accounting, operations and back-office support for restaurants. He has 20 years of experience in accounting and finance and currently serves as controller for a 56-unit fast-casual franchisee managing more than $120 million in sales. Steven found his greatest professional fulfillment working with restaurants. Through that experience, he recognized that restaurant operators were often underserved by providers that were either prohibitively expensive or lacked the specialized expertise their businesses require. He founded FORCS in 2025 to help address that need. Steven specializes in connecting restaurant accounting with day-to-day operations. Through FORCS, he and his team provide comprehensive back-office support for restaurants without their own internal teams as well as those that need additional expertise. FORCS services include bookkeeping and accounting, inventory and operations support, HR and payroll, compliance, sales tax management and automation. By managing these functions, the company enables restaurant operators to concentrate on restaurant operations and the guest experience. #InnovatorsAndEntrepreneurs #Top100Magazine #BusinessLeaders #EntrepreneurSpotlight #BusinessInnovation #InnovationLeader #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipMatters #EntrepreneurMindset #VisionaryLeader #BusinessExcellence #IndustryLeader #ThoughtLeadership Steven Mamis, MBA

We are pleased to announce that Robert Hogervorst will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine. For more than 28 years, Robert Hogervorst has built his career around understanding what comes next in technology, and helping organizations determine what it actually means for their business. From analytics and business intelligence to social business, cloud transformation, and now AI, he has consistently worked at the leading edge of technological change. That breadth gives him an uncommon ability to see both the big picture and the details others may overlook. As client partner at 66degrees, a leading AI-native consultancy, Robert works with executives and business leaders to modernize how their organizations operate using data, AI, and cloud technologies. But his approach begins well before discussing platforms or features. He asks questions designed to uncover what an organization is trying to accomplish, how people work today, and where technology can create meaningful improvements for employees, customers, and partners. Robert is deliberately vendor-agnostic. To him, AI itself is not a strategy; it is a tool for advancing the strategy an organization already has. His role is to help clients connect technology investments to outcomes such as growth, efficiency, stronger experiences, and new ways of working. #InnovatorsAndEntrepreneurs #Top100Magazine #BusinessLeaders #EntrepreneurSpotlight #BusinessInnovation #InnovationLeader #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipMatters #EntrepreneurMindset #VisionaryLeader #BusinessExcellence #IndustryLeader #ThoughtLeadership Robert Hogervorst

We are pleased to announce that Chris Pavlica and Kevin Consolo will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine. For Chris Pavlica and Kevin Consolo, some of the best product ideas begin with an everyday frustration and a simple question: Why isn’t there a better solution? Chris and Kevin have built FTI Brands LLC around answering that question, combining creative product development with the operational and retail expertise required to turn useful ideas into nationally distributed brands. Founded in 2016 in Upper Arlington, Ohio, FTI Brands develops smarter cleaning solutions and accessories designed to make everyday tasks easier, faster, and more effective. Its breakthrough product, SneakERASERS, began when Chris was heading into a pitch meeting and discovered his sneakers had badly scuffed soles, with no convenient way to clean them. He called Kevin, and months of research ultimately produced SneakERASERS. The product gained early traction online and in approximately 200 Harris Teeter stores. When Kevin became FTI Brands’ first full-time employee in January 2019, the company entered a period of dramatic retail expansion. Today, its products reach more than 57,000 stores and over 90,000 distribution points, with retail relationships including Walmart, Target, Costco, Dollar General, Skechers, AutoZone, and Meijer. #InnovatorsAndEntrepreneurs #Top100Magazine #BusinessLeaders #EntrepreneurSpotlight #BusinessInnovation #InnovationLeader #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipMatters #EntrepreneurMindset #VisionaryLeader #BusinessExcellence #IndustryLeader #ThoughtLeadership Kevin Consolo Chris Pavlica

We are pleased to announce that Bobby Smyth will be featured in The Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine.

That philosophy has also shaped AMEND itself.

As head of delivery and a member of AMEND’s leadership team, he has helped propel the firm into a 100-person, $25 million organization with a 10-year vision for regional economic impact.

We are pleased to announce that Tom LeNoble will be featured in the Top 100 Innovators & Entrepreneurs magazine. As founder and CEO of Opening Pathways Collective and CEO of the Academy for Coaching Excellence, Tom brings an experienced operator’s perspective to deeply personal work. He understands both the realities executives face and what those realities demand from the individual carrying them. He has built a life around a simple but demanding idea: leadership matters most when it helps another person move forward. His perspective was formed far from the polished environments where he would eventually work. Raised in a modest home known as “the Shack,” without hot running water and with few material resources, he learned early that circumstances do not have to dictate possibility. What endured from those years was not a sense of scarcity, but an understanding of resilience, human dignity, and the importance of believing in people. That foundation shapes the way LeNoble shows up; as a leader, advisor, author, speaker, coach, and philanthropist. He is less interested in telling people what to think than in helping them see what they may have missed. Meaningful leadership, to him, begins with seeing the person behind the title and creating the conditions for clarity. #InnovatorsAndEntrepreneurs #Top100Magazine #BusinessLeaders #EntrepreneurSpotlight #BusinessInnovation #InnovationLeader #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipMatters #EntrepreneurMindset #VisionaryLeader #BusinessExcellence #IndustryLeader #ThoughtLeadership Tom LeNoble
