“The 2026 International Business Awards winners represent the very best in business achievement from organizations of all sizes and across virtually every industry,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. “This year’s winners have demonstrated exceptional innovation, leadership, resilience, and results in a highly competitive global field.”
Crestcom International is honored to receive its ninth Silver Stevie® Award in the Company of the Year – Business or Professional Services category. Crestcom President and CFO, Julie Draguns, accepted the award, saying, “We are very proud to be recognized once again by the Stevie® Awards. Crestcom strives to transform leadership around the globe with our accredited development programs, and it is an honor to be mentioned among so many other world-class organizations.”
Owning a Crestcom Franchise has been both rewarding and energizing. You step into a proven model with strong systems, excellent development programs, and a highly supportive global network. After a 25-year corporate career, I initially looked for a program to complement my coaching—but quickly recognized a scalable business aligned with my strengths. Since starting in 2021, I’ve expanded multiple times. Day-to-day, it’s a balance of delivering leadership development, building relationships, and growing the business. It’s structured yet flexible, allowing you to bring your own insights. It is sales-driven, but that’s where the real growth and opportunity lie.
Starting with Crestcom in 2017 was one of the best professional decisions we’ve made. Since then, we’ve grown to four territories and have had a great experience building the business. What stands out is the combination of independence and support. You get the freedom of working for yourself, with the structure, guidance, and backing of a strong program. Everyone has been supportive and generous along the way. After working in a corporate setting, this has been a much better fit. The work life balance has also been a real benefit and something we truly value.
