We’re proud to announce that Robert Cardoni, Strategic Factory’s Director of Business Development, has been named the 2025 Ambassador of the Year by the Howard County Chamber of Commerce.
This prestigious recognition honors Cardoni’s outstanding dedication to fostering business connections, championing local organizations, and serving as a vital bridge between the Chamber and the broader community. Cardoni was formally recognized at the Chamber’s annual ceremony on May 29th, surrounded by peers, colleagues, and fellow business leaders.
“I have had a tie to the county my whole life- I grew up there, my first job was there, but most importantly to me is that my father based his business there for over 40 years and was deeply rooted in the community. After losing him last year – I can think of no better way to honor him than my receiving this honor and carrying on his legacy.”

He’s someone we—and the entire business community—can count on. Recognizing him as our 2025 Ambassador of the Year was an easy and unanimous decision.” – Howard County Chamber of Commerce
