Vera Muzzillo, CAS, CEO of distributor Proforma (PPAI 196835, D13), has been named the Tampa Bay Technology Business Woman of the Year by Tampa Bay Business & Wealth Magazine. Muzzillo has served as CEO of Proforma since 2001.

TBBW’s Tampa Bay Business Women Awards not only acknowledging female leaders, but also celebrates their contributions to their respective industries and the Tampa Bay community.

  • Muzzillo, who has spearheaded Proforma’s technology initiatives, has been recognized with the honor for her leadership skills, business acumen and commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those around her.

“I am honored to receive this prestigious award on behalf of the entire Proforma family,” Muzzillo says. “We are beyond thrilled to be recognized for our more than $25 million investment in the best business management platform in the industry and our ongoing commitment to empowering the success of our distributors through the best technological resources and tools available.”


Proforma has invested significantly in recent years in ProVision, the distributor’s fully-integrated business management technology platform. The enterprise resource planning system is designed to support distributor salesperson’s work, decrease overhead costs and effort, and help them achieve more success.

“It is a true privilege to work with a business leader who is so fluent in technology,” says Brian Carothers, Proforma’s CTO. “I am extraordinarily pleased to celebrate her much deserved recognition within Tampa Bay and throughout the industry.”
