SmartCEO Salutes 100 Greater Washington Business Leaders

Leadership, strategic vision and character define local magazine’s Smart100

Lanham, MD, February 2, 2010 – Washington SmartCEO magazine today announced Kathy Albarado, CEO of Helios HR as one of its 2010 Smart100 CEOs, an exclusive group of the region’s top executives, as selected by an independent selection committee. These 100 CEOs were chosen not solely for their ability to grow their organizations, but rather for each CEO’s demonstration of leadership, strategic vision and character. The Smart100 CEOs serve as an inspiration for SmartCEO’s 17,000 monthly readers.

Each Smart100 CEO will be profiled in the 100-plus-page annual Smart100 Book, which SmartCEO will publish as its 13th issue in May. The Smart100 will also be listed on SmartCEO’s website, www.smartceo.com. The Smart100 companies represent a variety of industries including government contracting, information technology consulting, travel services, financial services and video production.

“No other publication in the Greater Washington area has produced a publication of this magnitude with such high-caliber CEOs. The Smart100 CEOs have incredible business minds and have successfully grown their companies to be the best in Washington,” says Washington SmartCEO publisher Jaime Park.

Washington SmartCEO magazine is a regional “growing company” publication. SmartCEO believes that a “growing company” is really determined by the spirit, drive and dynamics of a company’s owners and managers, rather than by the size of its building, the number of its employees, or its sales volume. Each month, a variety of businesses in the greater Washington and greater Baltimore areas turn to the pages of SmartCEO for features, case-study advice and trend analysis, all with a uniquely local flavor. SmartCEO is read by more than 34,000 business owners in Baltimore and Washington.
