PITTSBURGH, PA (January 12, 2022) – The Hanna Family of Companies is pleased to announce that seven high-ranking leaders across their affiliated organizations have been named to the Swanepoel Power 200 (SP 200) list released this week. Leaders among the SP 200 ranking included Howard W. “Hoddy” Hanna, III; Helen Hanna Casey; Howard W. “Hoby” Hanna, IV; Kristine Burdick; Pat Riley; Gary Scott; and Matt Rand.

The SP 200 collectively named second-and-third-generation leaders, Hoddy Hanna, Chairman of Hanna Holdings, Inc.; Helen Hanna Casey, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services; and Hoby Hanna, President of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, in the Top 10 influential real estate leaders. While Howard Hanna has multiple key leaders from the Hanna family guiding the everyday operations of the full-service brokerage organization, SP 200 highlights these individuals due to their power and responsibility throughout the residential real estate brokerage.

The recognition of multiple generations of leadership is a key insight into Howard Hanna’s business. It showcases the forward movement of the company – not only how the organization operates today, but ultimately the vision for the future.

In addition to being named in the Top 10, Casey is the highest ranked woman on the 2022 SP 200. As a senior executive and integral leader at the company, Casey has played a large role in the expansion and evolution of the Howard Hanna brand.

In addition to the Hannas, the SP 200 recognized four additional leaders across the Hanna Family of Companies – which in turn, reinforces the power of the organization’s leadership ability and  recognition that as a combined entity, the organization is stronger together.

“I am thrilled to see how many people across our organization were represented on the list,” said Casey. “We have the best and brightest leaders in the industry, and we are proud to have them be an integral part of the Hanna Family of Companies.”
