NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Business Wire’s Chairwoman and CEO, Cathy
Baron Tamraz, has been named to PR News’ prestigious list of Top
Women in PR. The award comes as a great honor and reflection of the
guidance Cathy has provided to Business Wire over the years, from
spearheading the sale of the company to Berkshire Hathaway in 2006, led
by legendary investor Warren Buffett, to masterminding industry
innovations such as the more recent collaboration with Al Roker
Productions to launch BizWireTV.
Tamraz is not just the captain of Business Wire’s ship, she’s also an
influential figure who sets the tone for what can be accomplished when
working hard, working smart and having the tenacity to look into the
future and implement new ideas and products for its valued corporate
clients. With a pioneering background in corporate news disclosure and
public relations, Tamraz has led the industry in developing innovative
ways to disseminate news and other content for its prestigious clients.
“I am honored to join this illustrious group of women and hope that
Business Wire’s commitment to service and innovation these past 55 years
has served our clients and the industry well,” said Tamraz.

women, the ones driving the agenda for the industry and within their
companies. This year’s list celebrates the women who have made bold
advances in managing crises, developing brand messages, protecting and
building brand reputations and creating content for traditional, digital
