BOSTON, MA – March 3, 2007 – Hollister Inc. won a Stevie Award for Business Turnaround of the Year in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business last night.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars.” (New York Post, April 27, 2005).
Nicknamed the Steviesfor the Greek word “crowned,” winners were announced during ceremonies at New York’s Marriott Marquis Hotel. More than 180 nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S. and several other countries attended.
In winning the Stevie, Hollister Inc. beat out other finalists including Gulf Bank Corporate Banking Group, The Judgement Group, and VMD Systems Integrators. Kip Hollister, CEO, was presented the Stevie by presenter Carolyn Kepcher.
Stevie Awards were presented in 34 categories including Best Entrepreneur, Best Executive, Lifetime Achievement, and Women Helping Women. More than 600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration.
As CEO of Hollister, Kip Hollister continues to set the long-term strategic course and steer the daily operations with the passion and commitment she did some 18 years ago when she founded the firm.
“As a leader, I am committed to strengthening my firm by communicating our values of Relationships, Passion, Results, and Community, that make us stand out in the industry,” says Hollister.
Over nearly two decades since transforming her business plan into a company founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and strategic client relationships, Kip has evolved Hollister, which she still owns today, into a full-service recruiting firm for many of New England’s leading companies. Her focus on expanding the firm’s capabilities to meet the changing needs of its clients highlights her fearless embrace of innovation to ensure an enduring competitive advantage in the staffing industry.
Kip is a steadfast supporter of business-community partnerships, recognizing that over the long run Hollister can only be as strong as the community it serves. She herself serves on the boards of YMCA Training Inc. and North Cambridge Catholic High School. Kip is also actively involved with City Year and Year Up.
Kip earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from the University of Vermont and Susquehanna University in 1984.
Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie winners from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging last Fall.
The elegant Stevie trophy was designed by R. S. Owens, the same company that makes the Oscar® and the Emmy.
