Vistage Recognizes Fresh Consulting’s Jeff Dance with the 2018 Leadership Award
BELLEVUE, Wash. (PRWEB) May 24, 2018 -- Vistage (http://www.vistage.com), the world’s leading CEO peer-advisory organization, announced earlier this month that Jeff Dance is the recipient of the 2018 Leadership Award for the Seattle area. The Vistage Leadership Award honors members for their achievement in leadership. These members embody Vistage’s values of trust, caring, challenge, and growth and make great decisions that benefit their companies, families, and communities.
Jeff Dance is the Founder and CEO of Fresh Consulting (http://www.freshconsulting.com), an award-winning team of designers, developers, and engineers innovating fresh experiences to connect humans, systems, and machines. Founded in 2007, Fresh is now a team of over 150 designers, developers, engineers, and consultants. Following a January acquisition of a proven hardware and robotics engineering company, the two teams are now working as one to provide end-to-end innovation services.
Jeff’s ongoing investment in team culture and innovation has helped Fresh rank on Puget Sound Business Journal’s Fastest-Growing Companies lists seven times, Seattle Business Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, and Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America list five years in a row.
Fresh’s integrated culture and lateral structure starts with values that empower each person to “share knowledge boldly and humbly,” “ideate, collaborate, evaluate for something greater,” embrace “productive friction” and “be honest to the penny.”
Bruce Merrell, the Vistage chair who originally nominated Jeff to be in the pool of candidates considered, said, “Jeff Dance is one of the leaders of today and tomorrow. He has gathered around him some of the best and brightest creative and analytical engineers that combine together into one high-functioning team. He has taken information he has learned through his Vistage experience and crafted a company that is built on core values, strengths, and energy.”
Of the recognition, Jeff responded, “I owe this recognition to my team for our company success, and to my leadership team and mentors for the ongoing guidance. I’m surrounded by amazing people, so our success is not about me. I’m a student of innovation and leadership, so I hope to keep learning and implementing to keep myself and my company Fresh.”
