Titan CEO and headline sponsor Wipfli LLP are pleased to announce Nick Akers, President and CEO of Inzo Technologies as a 2025 St. Louis Titan 100. The Titan 100 program recognizes the Top 100 CEOs & C-level executives in St. Louis. They are the area’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry using criteria that includes demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Collectively the 2025 St. Louis Titan 100 and their companies employ over 42,148 individuals and generate over $77 billion in annual revenues. This year’s honorees will be published in a limited-edition Titan 100 book and profiled exclusively online. They will be honored at an awards ceremony on April 24, 2025, and have the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.

“The Titan 100 are changing the way that business is done in St. Louis. These preeminent leaders have built a distinguished reputation that is unrivaled in their field. We proudly recognize the Titan 100 for their efforts to shape the future of the St. Louis business community. Their achievements create a profound impact that makes an extraordinary difference for their clients and employees across the nation,” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.

What sets Nick apart as a Titan in his industry is his relentless pursuit of a people-first vision that challenges conventional business practices. In an industry often driven by metrics and bottom-line performance, Nick believes that success stems from treating employees as the company's greatest asset. His unwavering commitment to this philosophy has transformed organizations under his leadership, with exceptional results.

"The real reason I wanted to buy my own business was to prove you could be successful by treating your employees well. The foundation behind all of that is just treating employees the best we can and letting them succeed. The idea is to treat people well, give them a place they enjoy working, and the growth will come."

Nick will be honored at the Titan 100 awards celebration on April 24th, 2025 at The Factory. This unique cocktail-style awards event will gather 100 Titans of Industry and their guests for an evening unlike anything that exists in the St. Louis business community.

“On behalf of all the partners and associates at Wipfli, we congratulate all the Titan100 winners. It’s an honor to recognize this diverse group of leaders in the St. Louis community. We appreciate the lasting impact each leader has made, and continues to make, in building organizations of significance both here in St. Louis and abroad. Your ingenuity and creativity have set you apart, and the honor of being seen as an industry Titan is richly deserved,” says Adam Herman Partner at Wipfli.
