2010 Hall of Fame: Joan Davidson - Setting a Blazing Pace

Davidson was part of an executive triumvirate, along with Sheridan CEO John Saxton and CFO Bob Jakobe, who made the leap from the consumer products heavyweight (where she worked in the cosmetics and fragrance division of Cover Girl Cosmetics). She arrived in 1995 as vice president of finance at The Sheridan Press, and was promoted to president and COO a year later before making group president in 2007.
