Joseph Loggia

CEO

Advanstar Communications

Advanstar, acquired by a Veronis Suhler Stevenson private equity fund for $1.1 billion in 2007, underwent a restructuring last year that eliminated $385 million in debt. Loggia is leading a resurgence at the company, which is experiencing growth in exhibitions combined with a reduction in costs. Among the cost-cutting instituted by Loggia is the outsourcing of production functions overseas.
