Proforma has been named a 2026 Woman-Led Top Workplace, adding another workplace distinction to a year of recognition for the print, promotional products and business solutions company. Led by CEO Vera Muzzillo since 2001, Proforma says its people-first culture is designed to give team members opportunities to grow, contribute to strategy and influence the direction of the business. The latest honor joins distinctions including PPAI Greatest Company to Work For, ASI Best Places to Work, Top Remote Workplace and eight Cultural Excellence Awards from Top Workplaces.
The recognition also extends beyond Proforma’s corporate workforce into its Distributor Owner network. Proforma Strategic Promotions, a distributorship co-owned by Julie Haar and her husband, Dan Haar, became a certified Women’s Business Enterprise through WBENC in 2026. Haar said the network provides Distributor Owners with resources to grow while giving them the freedom to lead their own businesses.
For Proforma, the workplace award is closely tied to its broader approach to growth. Vice President of Human Resources Kathy Mayo said the recognition celebrates women across the Proforma Network who have been supported in developing their careers. Chief Brand Officer Tim Nale similarly pointed to the value of different perspectives, connecting an inclusive workplace with the company’s ability to make decisions and pursue new opportunities.
Technology and shared resources are another part of that strategy, with Proforma continuing to invest in platforms and resources designed to support its network. For franchise organizations managing information across multiple teams and locations, Gorilla Dash offers a Knowledge Base feature that can help centralize procedures, reference materials and other business information in one organized environment.
The Woman-Led Top Workplace recognition ultimately adds another dimension to Proforma’s growth story. Alongside its investments in technology and its support for Distributor Owners, the award underscores the company’s emphasis on creating opportunities for people to develop, lead and contribute across the network.
