Honor salutes most powerful leaders in Virginia

Patrick Bain, president and CEO of The Long & Foster Companies and Jackie Thiel, president of Long & Foster Real Estate, have been recognized by Virginia Business magazine in their 2023 Virginia 500 list.

The Virginia 500 honors the most powerful business leaders throughout the state, across 20 major sectors, ranging from real estate and manufacturing to higher education and government. The list is compiled based on research by Virginia Business magazine’s editorial staff. According to Virginia Business, “it’s like the Fortune 500, but instead of focusing on companies, it’s about people.”

“It’s an honor to be named to Virginia Business magazine’s 500 list,” said Bain. “For more than 50 years, we’ve been proudly serving clients with their real estate needs throughout Virginia’s communities, and we look forward to doing so for another 50 years – and beyond.”

Bain and Thiel were featured in the real estate category, among other executives and business leaders in architecture, engineering, construction and development.

“Those named to the Virginia 500 list are truly dynamic, innovative leaders, who are experts at what they do,” Thiel said. “It’s an honor to be recognized among those talented individuals who have had such a tremendous influence in their industries.”
