AI work is practical and useful. Results are clear with numbers and achievements across many areas. As a data leader, I see a good balance of tech, scale, and heart. Very impressive for someone so young.” Another judge commented, “His thought leadership, frequent invitations to forums like MIT, the UN, and Microsoft AI events, and mentoring roles further reflect a commitment to shaping the future of technology far beyond his organization.”
Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide, who participated in the judging process between May and July.
