Two Versiti Leaders Recognized by Titan 100 Executive Honors

Milwaukee — November 11, 2025

Versiti CEO and President Chris Miskel has been named to the 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 Hall of Fame alongside EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Gretchen Jameson who is being recognized as a Titan 100 honoree.

The Titan 100 program recognizes Wisconsin’s Top 100 CEOs and C-level executives. They are the state’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry and demonstrate exceptional leadership, vision and passion. Collectively, the 2026 Wisconsin Titan 100 and their companies employ over 64,000 individuals and generate over $14 billion in annual revenues.

“Wisconsin’s Titan 100 are redefining businesses with vision and purpose, setting new standards for growth, innovation and impact. These trailblazing leaders inspire transformation across industries, uplift communities and drive meaningful change,” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.

Chris Miskel, a two-time Titan 100 honoree, joined Versiti in 2017 as president and CEO and has since guided Versiti through a period of exceptional growth and renewed mission. Under his leadership, he’s fostered a unified One Versiti culture across multiple states, invested in infrastructure like the Versiti Blood Research Institute expansion, and achieved more than $475 million in annual revenue. His Wisconsin Titan 100 Hall of Fame induction celebrates these milestones.

This is Gretchen Jameson’s first time being honored by the Titan 100. As the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, she’s been instrumental in shaping Versiti’s brand, voice and strategic direction. With her leadership, Versiti has strengthened its reputation as an innovator in blood health and translational research, united teams across five states through authentic, mission-centered communication.

Chris Miskel and Gretchen Jameson will be honored at the Titan 100 awards celebration on Jan. 29, 2026 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This awards event will unite 100 Titans of Industry for an unforgettable evening of celebration, camaraderie and networking for the Wisconsin business community.
