What a night celebrating innovation and leadership at the 2025 Las Vegas Top Tech Awards ceremony at Allegiant Stadium!

This event always reminds me how far our tech community has come — and the amazing people driving that progress.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees — your leadership is shaping the future of technology across our city and beyond.

After being honored in 2023, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a judge for the past two years, helping recognize the next generation of leaders who are transforming how we work, connect, and innovate. It’s an absolute honor to fill this role and give back to a community that continues to inspire me.

As we move into November, it also feels like the perfect time to reflect with gratitude. None of us get here alone — and I’ve been blessed with incredible leaders and mentors who’ve shaped who I am today.

Thank you Yolanda Slim, Robert T. Scherrer, Steve Johnston, John Deane, Hajime Tamaoki, and William Marshall for believing in me, challenging me, and setting examples of great leadership that continue to guide how I lead others.

These awards are more than a night of recognition — they’re a celebration of community, mentorship, and a shared vision for what’s possible when great people come together.

Check out the winners and leaders driving innovation in Las Vegas:
Jeremy Brenton, Sheena DeleonGuerrero, Asal Gibson MS, CSSBB, PMP, CSM, Clinton Sparks, Edgar Garrabo, Kevin Kealy, Carami Olsen, Brandon Ward, ASBC®, Gary Larkin, Jamin Thompson, Juanny Romero, Angie Cosca, Victor Blanco, Seth Ravin

Accepting the VEGAS INC and Cox Business 2023 Top Tech Award for the Public Company category was an immense honor and a humbling moment for me last week at Allegiant Stadium. Southern Nevada tech leaders got a chance to share their teams’ accomplishments and how they are fostering innovation and excellence across their organizations. Being on stage alongside such esteemed tech leaders was an incredible experience.

This award is not just a recognition of my efforts; it symbolizes the collective vision, unwavering commitment, and relentless hard work of our outstanding teams at WHSmith North America. It is a testament to the resilience showcased by our IT and business teams, their unwavering passion, and their persistence in achieving the seemingly impossible.
