WISCONSIN – Taureau Group LLC is pleased to announce Ann Hanna, Managing Director & Co-founder, has been named a 2025 Wisconsin Titan 100. The Titan 100 program recognizes Wisconsin’s Top 100 CEOs & C-level executives. They are the area’s most accomplished business leaders in their industry using criteria that include demonstrating exceptional leadership, vision, and passion. Collectively, the 2025 Wisconsin Titan 100 and their companies employ over 113,000 individuals and generate over $118 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 January 30, 2025, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.

We proudly recognize the Titan 100 for their efforts to shape the future of the Wisconsin business community. Their achievements create a profound impact that makes an extraordinary difference for their employees and clients across the nation.” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.
As Managing Director & Co-founder of Taureau Group, an independent investment banking firm providing merger and acquisition services to middle market companies, Ann played a pivotal role in the firm’s strategic development. Originally part of a regional CPA firm, she transformed the M&A practice into a dedicated boutique investment bank. Today, the flourishing firm operates independently and embodies her relentless commitment to achieving optimal client outcomes. Taureau Group is distinctive due to its team of professionals from diverse backgrounds who collaboratively evaluate and position companies to highlight their greatest potential. This approach is unparalleled in the industry.
Ann’s achievements and dedication speak for themselves. She is passionately devoted to securing the best outcomes for her clients, often leaving them impressed and grateful for her determination. One client commented, “I don’t know how you do this on a daily basis, but I am so glad you are on my side because I know you have my back.”
She has a deep passion for M&A and is well-connected within the business community, where she is known for exemplifying ethics, accountability, and expertise. Two previous clients have referred her for private, paid Board positions, knowing she commits fully to every endeavor. Her persistence and strive for excellence in a traditionally male-dominated field serve as an inspiration to everyone.
Ann will be honored at the Titan 100 awards on January 30, 2025, at Fiserv Forum. This unique cocktail-style awards event will gather 100 Titans of Industry and their guests for an evening unlike anything that exists in the Wisconsin business community.
