The program recognizes winners and finalists in seven categories: Rising Star, Technology Advocate, Technology Innovator, Investment Catalyst, Community Hero, CIO/CTO of the Year, and CEO of the Year. "I've been in the intelligence and security business for almost 30 years and in that time I've met only a handful of executives who truly think about issues holistically, understanding the near term implications and the strategic implications of a solution," said Kim Jones, Director of the Cybersecurity Education Consortium for Arizona State University and former CISO of payment processor Vantiv. "Ed is and has always been one of those rare multidimensional, holistic thinkers. Ed's focus is always on doing the right thing both for the customer and for his company. While many folks talk about business ethics, Ed lives and breathes that concept instinctively," added Jnes. "CEOs that impress me the most are those who understand how important sharing leadership and engaging with educational, economic development and cultural organizations are for the success of our communities and nation. Edward Vasko is always willing to step up to these leadership needs," said Mike Hawksworth, President & CEO, MSS Technologies. Ed's involvement in, and love of technology started at the age of 5 when he disassembled and reassembled his parent's telephone. "I was shocked when my parents told me that the phone actually worked again after I put it back together," said Edward Vasko, CEO of Terra Verde. "My desire to be involved in technology as a career began in high school, when I was asked to write a math program for my prior elementary school to use to teach kids progressive math facts. It made me realize that technology could provide interesting ways to help people of all ages." The AZ Top Tech Awards is the premier technology event honoring Arizona's finest leaders in technology!
