Awards are made in two categories: For Startups/Emerging firms and Enterprise companies. These play off the railroad theme which we launched in 2012.

Here are the awards categories for Startups and Emerging Firms:

  • Startup Engineer (top leader/executive, not necessarily CEO but a COO. CFO. CIO)
  • Startup Express (fastest growing/most potential)
  • Startup Tycoon (founders/investors)
  • Startup Freight (delivering success consistently)
  • Startup Subway (fast-growing startup emerging from stealth mode)
  • Startup Conductor (CEO/Chairman)

And on the Enterprise/Large Company side:

  • Enterprise Engineer (top leader/executive, not necessarily CEO but a COO. CFO. CIO)
  • Enterprise Express (established successful companies)
  • Enterprise Tycoon (founders/investors)
  • Enterprise Freight (delivering success consistently)
  • Enterprise Subway (emerging companies, perhaps with IPO or exit potential)
  • Enterprise Conductor (CEO/Chairman)

Plus, there will be our annual “Editor’s Choice Awards.”
