IGEL CEO Jed Ayres Wins Gold in the 8th Annual 2020 CEO World Awards®

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, provider of the next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces, announced today that CEO World Awards®, the world's top C-Level and executive achievement awards program, has named IGEL CEO Jed Ayres a Gold winner in the 8th Annual 2020 CEO World Awards, in the CEO Achievers, Transformation Leader of the Year category.

CEO World Awards celebrate the achievements of leaders, executives, and their management teams behind the year's most outstanding initiatives and achievements. Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) lead the development of the organization's short- and long-term strategy. This annual awards program recognizes individuals and teams who set industry benchmarks for excellence. All organizations private or public, corporations, nonprofits, associations, vendors and government organizations worldwide are eligible to enter. 

Ayres joined IGEL with a strategic transformation plan in hand. At crucial time in the company's history, he systematically designed a timely market pivot, moving the company away from its hardware-first roots to become software-centric organization. This resulted in consistent triple-digit software unit growth for three years running as IGEL capitalized on the unprecedented market opportunity in end user computing. Within just three years, Ayres grew the company's software sales to a run rate of 750,000 software licenses, quickly outpacing traditional industry players including Dell and HP.

"This award underscores the dramatic success IGEL has achieved in just three short years and showcases the powerful impact Jed has had on IGEL's growth as a game-changing leader in the cloud workspace and end user computing market," said Heiko Gloge, Managing Director, Partner and Founder, IGEL. "He is truly a transformational leader and is well deserving of this prestigious CEO World honor."

Judges from a broad spectrum of industry voices from around the world participated and their average scores determined the 2020 award winners. Winners will be celebrated and presented their awards during a virtual awards ceremony in November.
