Altimetrik, a business and IT transformation accelerator, today announced that Raj Vattikuti, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Altimetrik, has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the 18th Annual American Business Awards®. Vattikuti received Gold in the Entrepreneur of the Year – Computer Services category.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” the awards will be virtually presented to winners during a live event on Wednesday, August 5. Tickets for the virtual event are now on sale.
More than 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.
The panel of judges particularly remarked on Vattikuti’s ability to drive Altimetrik’s phenomenal success in a crowded and fast-changing market while balancing the company’s commitment to diversity in hiring and investment in the local communities near its offices worldwide. Beyond the strong business performance, Raj Vattikuti’s ongoing personal philanthropic work through the Vattikuti Foundation and Altimetrik’s commitment to living its values made Vattikuti stand out as an entrepreneur.
“I’ve been lucky to receive the support of people and communities who have helped me grow my vision at various stages in my career,” remarked Vattikuti. “Altimetrik has built a track record of rapid growth and success because we take tremendous care in hiring the right people and then investing in their growth as employees. The same is true with our local communities, where we invest time and energy to help people develop the skills they need to succeed. I see this award as a recognition of the hard work and dedication of everyone at Altimetrik.”
“Despite the toughest business conditions in memory, American organizations continue to demonstrate their commitment to innovation, creativity, and bottom-line results,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher. “This year’s Stevie-winning nominations are full of inspiring stories of persistence, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and compassion. We celebrate all of their stories and look forward to showcasing them during our virtual awards ceremony on August 5.”
