5. Seymour Liebman

In recognition of all that Liebman has done for his company in America, he has been promoted to senior executive officer of Canon, Inc., the first non-Japanese to be honored by this innovative provider of digital solutions for consumers, businesses and industrial markets. We can’t think of any other corporate business leader on Long Island who’s done so much to restore confidence in our region as a place with a promising economic future and a talented workforce to get the job done right. Thanks to Liebman’s vision, Canon U.S.A. has a brand-new corporate headquarters in Melville that is not only state of the art but LEED-certified. The way we picture it: He’s made Canon a booming success.
