Tricia Griffith

Revenue and stock price are up once again at Progressive, increasing 19% and 6%, respectively, year over year. The insurer expects to add 10,000 employees in 2019—its biggest hiring year ever. Griffith continues to court customers outside car insurance, in May launching an online quoting tool for small-business owners. The forward momentum led Fortune to name Griffith Businessperson of the Year last November.
