Charlottesville, VA — August 29, 2025 - Hantzmon Wiebel LLP is proud to announce that CEO and Managing Partner, Jennifer S. Lehman, CPA, CGMA, has been recognized by Virginia Business magazine as an honoree of the 2025 Women in Leadership Award. This honor celebrates women across Virginia who demonstrate exceptional leadership, professional excellence, and a commitment to their communities.
The Women in Leadership Awards recognize leaders who inspire others through their achievements, mentorship, and dedication to making a positive impact. “We at Virginia Business are pleased to recognize these transformational leaders,” says Virginia Business associate publisher Richard Foster.
Jennifer says, “It is an honor to be included among such accomplished women across Virginia, including three other outstanding leaders from Charlottesville. I am grateful for the opportunity to build my career here and to lead Hantzmon Wiebel over the past two decades.”
As Managing Partner and CEO at Hantzmon Wiebel, Jennifer has made a profound impact at the international, national, state, and firm-wide levels. Her timeless legacy resides in the lives of the people she has helped shape, professionally and personally. Jennifer’s tenacious qualities of integrity, strategy, empathy, and grace cultivate a culture where people feel seen, heard, and, most significantly, empowered.
Her implementation of paid maternity/paternity leave, flexible work arrangements, and a family-first mindset continuously enables countless professionals to evolve in an industry that often requires difficult trade-offs. Jennifer does not stop with just policies; she invests in people. Her transformative mentoring and leadership are unparalleled. She continuously empowers the people around her in all stages of their careers. To further deepen her professional mentoring, she founded a book club dedicated to growth and mutual inspiration.
“During my time with Hantzmon Wiebel, I have had the privilege of serving the firm, the CPA profession, our community, and many nonprofits. That work is what made this recognition by Virginia Business possible. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the exceptional men and women at Hantzmon Wiebel and within the Charlottesville community who have supported me along the way,” reflects Jennifer.
Jennifer S. Lehman will be celebrated along with fellow honorees at the Virginia Business Women in Leadership Awards ceremony on October 6, 2025, at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia.
