Armina Stone Named Honoree 50 Smart for Pittsburgh 2019 Smart 50 Award

Gallagher is honored to partner with Smart Business to present the 2019 Pittsburgh Smart 50 Awards.

It’s humbling to learn about this year’s Smart 50 honorees and what they are doing as our region continues to set an example.

Pittsburgh is reinventing itself as an innovation hub that’s advancing health care, education, software engineering and high-tech industries, and our region remains at the forefront of development for autonomous vehicles, robotics and artificial intelligence. Plus, the center for heavy industry has replaced “smoky” with “green” for good.

All of our Smart 50 honorees are having a positive impact in the community. They are coming up with new ideas and making us more sustainable.

During Smart 50 judging day, where we heard directly from more than 30 of the honorees, it was inspirational to learn about innovation, impact and sustainability in so many different ways.

We heard about more than just new products and services, but also inclusive management styles, engaged corporate cultures and innovative approaches to leadership. We learned how they made the tough decisions as industries changed or the economy shifted. And, we were exposed to savvy leaders who are building upon the legacies of the past to write exciting new stories for their organizations’ futures.

This year’s Smart 50 honorees are from a diverse set of businesses and industries, yet they all share a passion for their work.

On behalf of the entire Western Pennsylvania Gallagher team, congratulations to each of you for your accomplishments and receiving well-deserved recognition for leading successful organizations.
