Select quotes from Best in Biz Awards 2016 judges:
“There were tons of great entries this year — it was especially difficult to pick the most worthy candidates out of the many submissions,” said Christopher Null, Wired, returning to the Best in Biz Awards judging panel for the fourth year.

“The nominees for Most Innovative Service of the Year were extremely impressive this year and nicely represent America's entrepreneurial spirit,” said Mark Huffman, Consumer Affairs, returning to judge his third Best in Biz Awards competition.

“If companies are going to stand out from the crowd and remain competitive in future years, innovation is key. The market is tough and there is no guarantee that today’s dominant players will remain so — unless time and effort are concentrated on research and development,” said Charlie Osborne, ZDNet. “This year’s entries in Best in Biz Awards highlighted not only innovative business practices but the emergence of next-generation technologies which will keep companies current and relevant.”

“It was an honor judging the Executive of the Year category. I love entrepreneurship, and these business leaders are job creators and innovators,” said Gina Jordan, WLRN. “Growing a company, exponentially increasing its workforce, and expanding into loftier ventures – it’s all in a day’s work for these folks. What I see in these executives is a fearless drive to succeed, persevere and transform. They are an inspiration!”
