Power 100

Hello, this is my first blog post. In these posts, I’ll be highlighting some of the big projects we’ve done at PBT, starting with January 2020.

This month, we launched our first-ever Power 100, a guide to the Pittsburgh region’s most influential business leaders. I spearheaded the effort, working with a small group to create and then narrow the list down, and then pulling the editorial content together about each person.

Selecting who should – and shouldn’t – make the list was a grueling task. We had over 300 names we considered over three months. We took in dozen of suggestions as well, but the most difficult task was getting it to just 100.

All of our coverage can be viewed on the Pittsburgh Business Times’ website here. You can also click directly to a slideshow of all those who were selected to be on this prestigious list.

It’s a list for which our region should be proud. But, collectively, do they have the power to take the region and turn it into a thriving, competitive community that’s growing? I explored this topic in an editorial I wrote.

We plan to do this again next year, so if you have anyone that you’d like to suggest be on the Power 100, please let me know.
