Get to know Greg Williams, the Michigan CEO who bought the naming rights to Heinz Field

Heinz Field, the home of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers for last 21 years, is no more — and a Michigander is the reason why.

The Steelers announced Monday that Acrisure, a Fintech company which operates a top 10 global insurance broker and is headquartered in Grand Rapids, purchased the naming rights to Pittsburgh's North Shore stadium. Greg Williams, a native of Lansing, serves as the chairman and CEO of Acrisure, which he co-founded in 2005.

Despite the 60-year-old's Michigan roots, Williams has been a fan of the Steelers his entire life.
