Patten Title Co. President Eric Fontanot has been named one of Houston’s most admired CEOs by Houston Business Journal.
The journal said the candidates were assessed on a variety of qualities such as contribution to company success, civic involvement, career achievement and more. It said Fontanot was recognized for shepherding Patten Title through the 2008 mortgage crisis, expanding it into new markets, and transitioning the company from a law firm into a full title agency.
“While I have had the opportunity to work with great people over the years, Eric’s commitment to growing a business through the leadership of his team is unlike any that I have seen,” Patten Title Vice President Tiffany Stillwell said in a release. “His ability to foster talent through a company culture that not only strives for excellence but is one where team members are excited to work is an encouraging approach to leadership.”
