Welcome to the 2017 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#12: Gene Colleran & David Nicholson, Polyconcept North America

2016 Rank: 6

Despite PCNA maintaining moderate sales growth in 2016, Colleran and Nicholson dip in our 2017 rankings as the industry feels the duo’s influence has tapered off a bit. Both capable leaders, the pair’s lower rankings might simply result from the absence of Michael Bernstein, Polyconcept’s former dynamic chief executive, who left the company in 2015.
