Baltimore SmartCEO Steve Geppi Cover Story Now Available Online

Baltimore SmartCEO magazine has posted an online version of its cover story spotlighting Diamond President and CEO Steve Geppi, who was named Baltimore CEO of the Year at the prestigious publication's fourth anniversary party!

The article can be read in its entirety at http://baltimore.smartceo.com/cover.html.

Written by award-winning journalist David Callahan, the article spotlights Geppi's seemingly implausible rise from postal carrier to head of an entire family of companies and part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles has long been the stuff of legend within the comic book world. Increasingly, though, it has become clear that business and community leaders outside the industry have taken note of Little Italy's favorite son as well.

"It isn't all about which CEO in town had that most spectacular year," Callahan wrote of the award. "We try to name a CEO who has had a number of interesting years and has positioned his company to succeed in the future. We look to someone who is not just important to Baltimore, but breaking important ground within his or her own industry. We look for someone who has unique ideas and a convincing and fascinating leadership style. Someone who gives back to his employees, shareholders and community alike. We think Geppi fits that bill."
