Business Leader Magazine Releases its 2002 Impact 100 List — hesketh.com Executives Heather Hesketh and Michael Tucker Honored
Raleigh, NC - 11 March 2002 — In a year of downsized budgets and increased layoffs, seven-year-old hesketh.com/inc. has kept its team intact and has increased company revenues by over 100%. Because of this success, and in light of a commitment to continued community involvement, hesketh.com executives Heather Hesketh, Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Tucker, Chief Relationship Officer, have landed on Business Leader magazine's Impact 100 list.
The Impact 100 list is comprised of Triangle business leaders who make significant contributions to their community and/or profession. All have been nominated by peers or business colleagues and chosen by a Business Leader selection committee.
Business Leader publisher Dan Davies says of this year's recipients, "Business Leader salutes these exceptional individuals for their perseverance and spirit of camaraderie. It is leaders such as these who continue to help our region grow and prosper while making time to give back to the community."
Under the leadership of Hesketh and Tucker, hesketh.com has become an example of the kind of company that Davies credits with prospering the Triangle area. hesketh.com has become a major player in the Web development community, locally as well as nationally. With each project, hesketh.com continues to build its reputation for delivering intuitive design and elegant, extensible code. The company has kept its team intact and has increased company revenues by over 100% this past year, despite political and economic turmoil, accomplishments of which the company is particularly proud.
Through the success of hesketh.com, Hesketh and Tucker have been able to "give back" to the community, from financially backing Webdesign-L (a Web community that has grown to over 1,500 members) to creating a site pro bono for the Through Women's Eyes, By Women's Hands art show, benefiting The Women's Center. (a non-profit organization working to impact the personal and professional lives of Triangle women). hesketh.com also continues to work with the Council for Entrepreneurial Development, an organization that supports entrepreneurs in the Triangle area and works to promote public awareness of the contribution that entrepreneurial companies make to the surrounding community.
Whether it's creating a place for professionals to meet and inspire each other, supporting the needs of Triangle women, or bringing entrepreneurs together so they can enhance the community around them, "it's about affecting people," Hesketh says. "You can't change the world by yourself. Changing the world begins with doing what you can to affect the people you personally encounter."
