etouches CEO Oni Chukwu Announced as 2016 QuantumShift Finalist
NORWALK, Conn., (PRWEB) May 03, 2016 -- etouches, a top provider of cloud event management software, today announced that President and CEO Oni Chukwu has been named a finalist for the 2016 QuantumShift program, a week-long entrepreneurial development program recognizing highly successful entrepreneurs and executives of U.S. high-growth private companies. Chukwu, along with a group of other finalists, was selected after a rigorous nomination and application process overseen by KPMG LLP and the University Of Michigan’s Stephen P. Ross School of Business. The program, to be held at the University of Michigan, will kick off in May 2016.
“I was honored to be chosen and recognized among the other accomplished and leading CEOs of growth US companies by KPMG and the Ross School of Business for the 2016 QuantumShift program,” said Chukwu. “I am very much looking forward to the interaction with my colleagues and the world-renown faculty of the University of Michigan Business School, and sharing superb innovative best practices as we continue to notch up the global growth of etouches in the coming months and years.”
Chukwu was named Chief Executive Officer of etouches back in September 2013, and since holding the position has led the company to substantial topline growth. Through two acquisitions in 2015, a venue sourcing platform and a mobile event application, the company has strongly expanded its product offering in the $5 billion event management software industry. In addition to its offices in United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, etouches has also added global offices in Belgium, Dubai and Singapore under his leadership.
QuantumShift is a collaborative project between KPMG LLP – the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm – and the University Of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. Unlike other recognition-only entrepreneurial development programs, QuantumShift is rooted in sustained learning, networking and collaboration. The program provides an opportunity for participants to learn from a wealth of talented professionals – including distinguished faculty members from Ross School of Business – and offers graduates access to the Fellows Network, an exclusive peer-to-peer network focused on ongoing problem solving, development and mentorship.
