Hippo is very proud to announce that we have been named the winner of a Stevie Award in two categories in The 9th Annual International Business Awards.
The International Business Awards are the world's premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide are eligible to submit nominations - public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. The 2012 IBAs received entries from more than 50 nations and territories.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for "crowned," the awards will be presented to winners at a gala awards banquet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Seoul, South Korea on 15 October.
There were more than 3,000 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry.
Of being named Company of the Year, Hippo CEO Jeroen Verberg said, "we are very proud of this acknowledgement. Our team has been working extraordinarily hard to provide the best solutions for our clients and partners. The result of that hard work has shown up in our accelerating growth. Our focus on our clients, our community, our team and all the new ideas we're developing is what's being recognized here. It's an incredible honor."
Additionally, Hippo's CTO Arje Cahn was named as Product Development/Management Executive of the Year. "This is really a tribute to our team and our community of developers, not just to me" said Arje. "We've all worked so incredibly hard on not only one of the markets' leading Open Source Web Content Management solutions - but in contributing back to the Open Source Community. The fact that we have a dozen members in our team that are full committers to the Apache Foundation, and that our Hippo community is filled with amazingly innovative technologists is testament to our commitment to technology that actually works. This recognition is as much theirs as it is mine."
Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 300 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process this year.
"Entries to the IBAs grew substantially this year," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "Despite slow economic conditions in much of the world, the quality of nominations was outstanding, demonstrating that there are many companies that are innovating and growing regardless."
The combination of both awards is yet another recognition of Hippo's continued growth. Since its founding more than 10 years ago, Hippo has grown from 3 founders to become one of the most visionary and market leading Open Source Web Content Management Companies in the world. Among the companies that Hippo has helped include - Disney, Autodesk, Dolce & Gabbana, The Dutch National Government and Thompson Reuters. Hippo has been named three years in a row as one of Deloitte Technology's European Fast 500 List. And just this year the company has also just been honored with the Red Herring's Top 100 Europe award. This list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entprepreneurs. As Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring said: "We believe Hippo embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture."
