MAACO SVP Named Top Young Leader In Charlotte

Hannah Whitesides is credited as being the “architect of the Maaco brand reinvention.”

Maaco, a leader in the $38 billion automotive paint and collision industry, continues to earn top awards and recognition for its strong 2021 performance, strategic leadership, brand reinvention, and innovative approach to customer engagement as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The architect of the Maaco brand reinvention, Hannah Whitesides, senior vice president of marketing, Maaco, was recently announced as a member of the elite class of Charlotte business leaders on the Charlotte Business Journal 40 Under 40 Awards list.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Charlotte Business Journal as one of the top 40 Under 40, as our city is booming with talented professionals making an impact on both our community and our companies,” said Whitesides. “I would not be where I am today without the continued support of my Driven Brands family and our remarkable Maaco network. This is a proud achievement, and I am grateful for this recognition.”

Each year, the Charlotte Business Journal aims to introduce some of these rising stars through the 40 Under 40 awards program. Now in its 29th year, this signature awards program turns a spotlight on 40 individuals — all under the age of 40 — who are making a difference in the region. Charlotte Business Journal solicits nominations from readers annually for the awards.
