FORT WAYNE – STAR Bank Chairman & CEO Jim Marcuccilli and STAR Financial Group President Kristin Marcuccilli have been named to the Indianapolis Business Journal’s 2024 “Indiana 250” list. The list recognizes the top leaders who have made a significant impact on both the business and community landscape in Indiana.
“It’s hard to choose just 250 people from among the thousands who work every day to make Indiana a better place to live and to work,” said IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman. “But we believe the people on the Indiana 250 list are especially worthy of distinction. They are thinking big and driving change.”
The list includes nearly 70 names that are new from last year and was compiled by executives, editors and newsroom staff at IBJ Media’s three news brands – Indianapolis Business Journal, Inside INdiana Business and Indiana Lawyer – after a monthslong process that included reviewing nominations, researching Indiana organizations and talking with community leaders across the state. IBJ Media launched the Indiana 250 program in 2022 and plans to continue updating the list annually.
This year was a busy one for STAR, unveiling a new HQ in downtown Fort Wayne. The bank also celebrated 80 years of serving Indiana communities and saw the company named one of the Best Places to Work on the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 list.
The Indiana 250 will be celebrated at an exclusive reception featuring remarks by Vice President Mike Pence on July 17. IBJ Media launched the Indiana 250 program in 2022 and plans to continue updating the list annually. Elected officials are not eligible for the list.
Jim and Kristin join a list of some other returning executives, including David Ricks of Eli Lilly, Gail Boudreaux of Elevance Health, Jennifer Rumsey of Cummins Inc., Dan Starr of Do it Best, Kimberly Ryan of Hillenbrand, Chuck Magro of Corteva, Scott Davison of OneAmerica, Mark Millett of Steel Dynamics and Brent Yeagy of Wabash.
They have been on this list since its inception in 2022.
