OAKLAND, N.J., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CPR Strategic Marketing Communications (CPR), a premier firm with over 30 years of experience serving the healthcare, finance and construction industries worldwide, today announces that Laura Carabello, founder and principal of CPR Strategic Marketing Communications, has been named a winner in the 2026 Herizon Awards, in the category of Founder/Visionary – Transformed a Company. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the award recognizes women who are changing how the world works.
The 2026 Herizon Awards honor 57 winners across five nominee roles and four countries, spotlighting women whose leadership has moved individuals, teams, companies, industries and the globe.
Laura founded CPR in 1983 and built it into one of the country’s most respected communications agencies. The firm has launched and developed public and private companies, introduced emerging businesses with new products and services and expanded the global reach of innovative organizations. Her work has established her as a telehealth pioneer through the launch and market positioning of Teladoc and Recuro; a leader in the international medical travel industry and publisher of the leading global newsletter, Medical Travel & Digital Health News; and a thought leader and editorial consultant to The Self Insurer, the official publication of the Self-Insurance Institute of America. Beyond CPR, Laura gives back to the community by leading the Fellows Group of the Thought Leadership & Innovation Foundation and serving as a volunteer spokesperson for the American Macular Degeneration Foundation.
“These women aren’t waiting for the world to change. They’re the ones changing it,” says Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “Laura stood out because her work as founder and principal reflects what Herizon is about: real change, led by women, that reaches well beyond a single team.”
Carabello says, “This high-profile recognition is really a testament to the talented group of employees that I have worked with over the years. Watching former interns grow into the leaders who help run CPR tells me this firm will keep reinventing itself, and I’m grateful that the Herizon Awards chose to recognize my accomplishments. Business today looks nothing like it did when we opened our doors in 1983, and staying curious is what has kept CPR relevant. Whether we are launching a new service or networking throughout the marketplace, my goal is to keep finding the next place where strong communication can change the success trajectory for innovative companies.”
