The CFO Awards are an annual event recognizing the accomplishments of financial executives from the state's diverse tech and life sciences communities. At the event, the Council honors and celebrates the outstanding contributions of leading CFOs and investors in the industry.

Since joining the Company in 2013, Mr. Pearson has been a visionary and critical leader of Vonage's overall business strategy, helping to put the Company on a path to rapid growth. Instrumental in developing an innovative strategy for the growth of the Company, Mr. Pearson changed the way Vonage operates its business, and was an integral driver of Vonage's successful pivot from residential communications provider to leading cloud communications provider for business.

Under his guidance, 2017 proved to be a transformational year as Vonage Business revenues exceeded consumer revenues for the first time in Q3 2017, and increased full year revenues by 33% to $499 million. With Mr. Pearson's leadership, the company as a whole delivered strong results in 2017, growing consolidated revenues to $1.0 billion.
