20-40 Visionaries — Young Turks Set the Pace

Vera Muzzillo, 39
Co-CEO, Proforma, Cleveland

Vera Muzzillo didn’t need the printing industry. The 1986 Notre Dame graduate—a winner of the Raymond P. Kent Award for top performance by a finance major and a national Business Honors Society inductee—was already excelling in the world of finance.

She spent two terms with Comerica Bank, reaching the level of vice president for large corporate and middle market commercial lending and investment banking, managing a portfolio of several hundred million dollars. She also served as a business consultant and was involved in investment banking ventures.
