Announcing the recipients of the 2024 Tampa Titan 100 

“The Titan 100 are visionary leaders that inspire the Tampa business community. These leaders have built a distinguished reputation that is unrivaled and preeminent in their field. We are humbled to recognize the Titan 100 for their efforts to shape the future of the Tampa business community” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO. Kurt Heitmann is a seasoned veteran in the entertainment sound engineering industry, with a career spanning over four decades. He began his journey in 1981 and quickly made a mark, earning four Emmy Awards for his innovative contributions. Starting as an Audio Assistant for ESPN in 1982, Heitmann’s expertise and dedication propelled him to the role of Senior Audio Engineer, where he played a pivotal role in major events like the 1988 Olympics and NHL coverage. In 1994, Heitmann founded KGH Audio Services, which he successfully built and later sold to Duke City Video/Matthews Studio Group in 1998. His strategic vision and leadership continued to shine at CP Communications, where he started as Director of Audio Services in 2000. Under his guidance, CP Communications grew from $2 million to over $18 million in annual revenue, diversifying its offerings to become a leader in production audio, fiber optics, RF, and HD RF video technologies. Promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing and a partner in 2007, Heitmann expanded CP Communications into digital video and fiber optics, solidifying its position in the industry. He was instrumental in the formation of Red House Holdings and the acquisition of Total RF, further enhancing CP Communications’ capabilities. Today, as CEO, Heitmann continues to drive innovation and excellence, positioning CP Communications at the forefront of the media production and communication industry. His visionary leadership and commitment to quality have not only transformed CP Communications but have also left an indelible mark on the broader media landscape. Heitmann is also a proud father of three children. Kurt Heitmann will be honored at the Titan 100 awards celebration on October 24, 2024, at The Motor Enclave in Tampa, Florida. The Motor Enclave is the premier developer of experiential motorsports venues in North America. The 200-acre development includes a 1.72-mile Hermann Tilke-designed Driving Circuit and a 37,000 square-foot corporate Event Center where we are honored to host the inaugural Tampa Titan 100 Awards. This unique cocktail-style awards event will gather 100 Titans of Industry and their guests for an evening unlike anything that exists in the Tampa business community. “Our entire Enavate team is privileged to congratulate all the Titan 100 honorees. Tampa has a truly outstanding community of business leaders, and it is our honor to see their ingenuity and dedication recognized and celebrated. As an inaugural Titan 100 Hall of Fame member in Colorado, I have seen firsthand the impact this network of leaders can have in building their own organizations as well as a thriving community. Your exceptional vision, passion, and influence have proven that your inclusion in the Titan 100 is well-earned.” – Thomas Ajspur, CEO of Enavate and Titan 100 Hall of Fame Honoree.
