NEW PARNERSHIP: Russell Real Estate Services announced last month it has partnered with Mayo Realtors.
This partnership comes less than one year after Volpini Real Estate merged with Russell.
Mayo Realtors was founded in 1959.
“From the first conversation with the Russell leadership team, it was clear we share the same culture and commitment to people first,” said John McCarthy, Mayo Realtors broker. “Both companies have deep family roots and a passion for helping our clients and agents succeed.”
Founded in 1962, Russell Real Estate Services is one of Ohio’s largest independent brokerages.
CERTIFICATION EARNED: Two students from Youngstown State University’s Williamson College of Business Administration have earned the Certified Global Business Professional credential, a national certification recognizing comprehensive knowledge in international business.
Moritz Bayer, a senior finance major from Vienna, Austria, and James Slessor, a senior supply chain management major from Auckland, New Zealand, passed the CGBP exam administered by NASBITE International, the National Association for Small Business International Trade Educators.
The CGBP credential demonstrates professional competency in global business management, marketing, supply chain management and trade finance. It serves as a benchmark for individuals pursuing careers in international commerce and is increasingly recognized by major employers nationwide.
Bayer served as an export specialist with Humtown Products, focusing on export documentation and international market research. He also interned with the Ohio Small Business Development Center at YSU as a Beeghly Fellow, where he continues to develop expertise in market research, exporting and government contracting. He plans to graduate in May 2026 and pursue a career in finance or global trade.
Slessor interned with Haltec Corporation in Leetonia, supporting international sales and customer service. This fall, he joined the SBDC and APEX Accelerator at YSU as a Beeghly Fellow intern, assisting regional companies with export readiness and government contracting.
