Among this year’s honorees was Paul Viggiano of A.G. Williams Painting Company, a respected name in professional painting and community leadership across New York and Connecticut.
The recognition underscores not only Paul’s career success but also his longstanding commitment to service, mentorship, and the local community.
Celebrating Leadership and Dedication
As Director of Marketing and Business Administration for A.G. Williams Painting Company, Paul Viggiano has spent nearly two decades helping the century-old firm evolve while staying true to its founding values of honesty, craftsmanship, and professionalism.
Paul began his journey with A.G. Williams over 17 years ago.

His hands-on leadership and personal investment in every project have made him a key figure in the company’s continued success.
Honoring Excellence in Business and Community
The Business Council of Westchester’s Rising Stars program celebrates professionals under 40 who demonstrate exceptional leadership and innovation. Each honoree represents the energy and potential shaping Westchester’s business future.
Being selected for the Rising Stars class is no small feat. Honorees are evaluated for professional accomplishments, leadership skills, and their contributions to civic life. For Paul, the recognition is as much about passion as it is about professionalism.
A Lifelong Commitment to Growth and Mentorship
A proud Yonkers native now residing in Scarsdale, Paul brings his dedication to teamwork and mentorship beyond the walls of the A.G. Williams Painting offices. He is deeply involved in youth athletics, serving as Head Coach for Varsity Ice Hockey and Girls Lacrosse at New Rochelle High School.
His commitment to guiding young athletes mirrors the way he leads professional teams, through encouragement, discipline, and genuine care. This dedication to coaching and community involvement has earned him admiration not only from his colleagues but also from families throughout Westchester.
Inspiration from a Mentor and a Legacy Company
Paul credits much of his success to the mentorship and guidance of George Williams, CEO of A.G. Williams Painting Company.
“George took me under his wing at a very young age and taught me how to be a responsible businessperson,” said Paul.
That mentorship has helped Paul grow into a leader who blends traditional values with modern marketing and management strategies. Under his influence, A.G. Williams Painting Company has continued to strengthen its brand reputation across both residential and commercial markets, emphasizing trust, reliability, and service excellence.
A Philosophy of Hard Work and Passion
Paul’s success can also be traced to his personal philosophy, one inspired by legendary soccer player Pelé, who once said:
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
This mindset has guided Paul through every project and campaign. Whether coordinating large-scale commercial painting for Westchester businesses or managing residential transformations in Fairfield County, Paul approaches every task with care, precision, and heart.
