A partner in the Minneapolis office of Stoel Rives, Braun advises some of Minnesota's largest companies on environmental regulatory compliance. He is one of Minnesota's leading attorneys in brownfield redevelopment, assisting on projects like The Heights in St. Paul that revitalize contaminated land.
As president and co-founder of Opus Sports Partners, Rosas transforms how professional sports ownership groups are formed and operated. The former vice president of communications and engagement for the Minnesota Timberwolves & Lynx, Rosas uses her first-hand experience to assist clients in growing and building a sustainable sports franchise.
In 2021, Jennifer Miller, a senior vice president at U.S. Bancorp in Minneapolis, founded the alliances program at U.S. Bank. Its goal? To bring internal and external groups together to create compelling programs for clients and partners, beginning with State Farm. Under Miller’s leadership, U.S. Bank has formed dozens of partnerships—on college campuses and in workplaces—that offer more holistic banking services to more than a million clients.
When Erin Pash founded Ellie Mental Health eight years ago, her mission was simple: destigmatize mental health care and make it more accessible to all. The licensed therapist opened her first location in St. Paul in 2015. By 2021, Ellie Mental Health had expanded to 19 locations. Last year, more than 100 franchised offices opened, and today, the organization boasts over 1,200 therapists in 200 clinics in 32 states.
