Michael Holtzman selected as 40 Under Forty
Michael
Holtzman, President and Co-Founder of Gavant Software, had the distinct honor
of being selected as a '40 Under Forty' award recipient this year.
Holtzman stayed in the Capital Region after graduating from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute. Six years ago he started Gavant Software located in
downtown Troy. The company has grown exponentially during this time with the addition of
several employees, growth in their customer list and substaintial revenue gains year after year. The company also recently built-out a new office in Troy to house their growing software team.
The Business Review has been celebrating the region’s up-and-coming
business leaders for 10 years through the ‘40 Under Forty’ award program. It
recognizes the business accomplishments and community involvement of 40
businesspeople under the age of 40. The 40 individuals are selected out of
hundreds of nominations and applications. These 40 people are the sort of
people the region is working hard to attract—young, intelligent, high-achieving,
involved professionals.
The group was celebrated at the annual 40 Under Forty luncheon on May 7 at the
Crowne Plaza in downtown Albany. The event drew some 800 people.
