No matter the sector, industry or organization, success does not happen without good, strong leadership.

There’s other key ingredients to the success equation, sure — teams working in harmony, a mission that can serve as an inspirational North Star and, of course, a bit of luck — but without clear eyes and steady hands at the top, the rest of the ingredients lack direction and guidance. 

That’s why the Pittsburgh Business Times is proud to present our annual C-Suite Awards, honoring the business executives in the Pittsburgh region who serve as prime examples of the kind of leadership it takes to build positive momentum, both at their companies and in the community at-large.

Dustin Kuhlman, P.E., president, chairman, and chief executive officer for Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. , is among the 2026 honorees. Subscribers can read his full profile here.
