Boston, MA – May 6, 2025 – NWN President & CEO Jim Sullivan joins Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Kraft Group President Jonathan Kraft and others on Boston Magazine’s 150 Most Influential Bostonians (of) 2025 List. According to Boston Magazine editor & reporter David Bernstein, Sullivan was selected for the honor because he is a business leader who “really shapes how we think, live, work and dream.”   

This marks the second time that Sullivan has made the prestigious list and follows the recent announcement of a major five year partnership agreement between NWN and the Kraft Group to transform the technology framework underpinning the entire Kraft Group enterprise business portfolio which includes businesses in sports and entertainment at Gillette Stadium. 

“Running a top AI solutions company seems like a good place to be these days, with a market estimated at $100 billion. Add the financial might of private equity company American Securities, which bought NWN last year, and the picture gets even rosier,” added Bernstein. “The optimism and room for growth showed in NWN’s acquisition of Leverage Information Systems last fall, which put the company into the federal government market.

But the company’s nationwide expansion hasn’t taken Sullivan’s focus away from local business or charity—witness his company’s work with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester.”
