Fred Koury
President & CEO
Fred Koury co-founded Smart Business Network in 1989 with a single publication in Cleveland, Ohio. In the years since, he has brought the Smart Business magazine concept to 19 markets in 10 states with monthly publications that focus on the management skills of such successful business leaders as Blockbuster's Wayne Huizenga, The Limited's Les Wexner and General Electric's Jack Welch. He writes From the CEO, a monthly column on leadership that reaches an audience of 720,000+ senior executives through Smart Business. His subjects range from business ethics to improving communications to making tough decisions.
In addition to building Smart Business Network, Fred created the largest business-to-business trade show company in Ohio, Premier Expositions. After growing the company in five years from scratch into a substantial and profitable operation, he sold it in 1995 to focus on his publishing operations and to create special events, such as the Innovation in Business Conference, which honors the most creative business minds in Northeast Ohio, and the Pillar Award for Community Service, which raises money for The Pillar Fund, which makes annual donations to local charities.
Fred has served on numerous boards, including the United Way of Greater Cleveland, The National Conference for Community and Justice and St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church. He is a member of The 50 Club of Cleveland, a prestigious group of top business leaders in Greater Cleveland. He also serves on U.S. Bank’s Northeast Ohio Advisory Board, which consults with and provides advice and
feedback to the bank’s president and senior management team.
Fred's formal education includes a business finance degree from Bowling Green State University in 1985 and graduate work at The Ohio State University.
