Holly Brenner, Senior Vice President of Strategic Development and Marketing at C.D. Smith Construction, has been inducted into the 2026 Wisconsin Titans of Industry class.
Only 100 executives statewide are selected each year for this distinction, recognizing accomplished C-suite leaders whose vision and impact shape the economic direction of the region. Honorees represent a broad cross-section of industries and are chosen for sustained business performance, executive leadership and community influence.
The Titan designation recognizes leaders who pair strategic decision-making with operational discipline and long-term responsibility. It acknowledges executives who build strong organizations while strengthening the communities they serve.
Throughout her career, Holly has led with a balance of boardroom strategy and operational perspective, aligning growth with purpose and accountability. Her work centers on strengthening partnerships, mentoring emerging leaders and ensuring that progress supports both organizational performance and people.
She is known for asking difficult questions, making disciplined decisions and building collaborative relationships that extend beyond individual initiatives. That combination of strategic clarity and people-centered leadership reflects the qualities the Titan program seeks to recognize.
The Wisconsin Titans of Industry program highlights the role leadership plays in shaping resilient companies and forward-looking communities. Induction into the Titan class reflects that broader commitment to disciplined growth and responsible influence.
