"Life Achievement Awards"

This prestigious award is presented annually by CARIBBEAN BUSINESS as a way of recognizing and paying tribute to overall excellence in an individual whose expertise, business savvy and vision have truly made an impact on the economic and social evolution of Puerto Rico.

The business leaders so honored are singled out by the editorial board and the board of directors of Casiano Communications Inc. for accomplishments that go well beyond the ordinary. May their lives and work remain a testimony of greatness for generations to come.

The award, a stunning piece called "Jardiniere Venise," done in Lalique's signature style, combines clear and frosted crystal in a flower-box design.
