Letter from the Publisher
CTOs and their teams play a crucial role in making Los Angeles businesses, institutions and nonprofits successful. Their decisions often impact all aspects of a business, including its growth, profitability, functionality and competitiveness in the marketplace. This is our eighth year of celebrating Los Angeles’ finest IT leadership minds with an awards event specifically for those who have their hands on the steering wheels of new technology.
Our annual Los Angeles Business Journal CTO Awards, held April 22 at City Club LA, give us the opportunity to applaud the IT inventiveness and technological achievements of the corporate space’s high-tech men and women. These important individuals and teams play vital roles in making Los Angeles a hub for innovation and in making its businesses, institutions, and nonprofits successful.
This year, since we had an influx of incredible nominees, we decided to separate the CIO and CTO categories into three subcategories based on company size:
• Emerging companies (fewer than 100 employees);
• Corporate companies (100 to 500 employees);
• and Enterprise companies (more than 500 employees).
Prior to the award ceremony, we brought together a panel of experts in the field to discuss how technology is influencing Southern California’s business landscape. So for all the great technology leaders celebrated this year, we say thank you and congratulations! Your tireless contributions to the companies you serve — and ultimately our business community as a whole — are appreciated.
Best regards,
Anna Magzanyan
