Smart Business Magazine Recognizes Holstead as the Leader of a Top Company in Pittsburgh

November 30, 2017

Carrie Holstead, President and CEO of Carrie S. Holstead Real Estate Consultants, Inc., the Pittsburgh affiliate of ITRA Global, was honored by Smart Business Magazine for effectively building and leading a Top Company in Pittsburgh.  After being selected by an accomplished judging panel, Holstead was recognized at the 2017 Smart 50 awards celebration held at the Grand Ballroom of the Fairmont Hotel at 510 Market Street in downtown Pittsburgh earlier this month.  

Smart Business Network, of which Smart Business Magazine is a part, was founded in 1989 and the network quickly expanded to 17 magazines, garnering the attention of The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. Some of the nation’s top CEO’s, including Wayne Huizenga, Bill Ford, Jr and Les Wexner have been featured on the cover of Smart Business Magazine.  As marketing evolved to embrace new technologies and platforms for communication, SBN Interactive was created in 2012 to help companies leverage new marketing channels to engage their customers.  In 2016, its name was changed to Convero.  Today, Smart Business Network also has thriving books and events divisions and it will continue to grow by focusing on what sets it apart – quality content – and acquiring talented people and businesses that deepen its value proposition for clients. 

Holstead said “I am tremendously honored to have received this prestigious recognition from Smart Business Magazine.  Having been nominated by a client as well as knowing this prestigious award is voted on by an accomplished judging panel who has a long standing history of honoring others for whom I have tremendous respect, is humbling,” she added.
