"I'm deeply honored and humbled to have been selected as a finalist for this amazing honor among this group of industry leaders,” said Vodnik. “Throughout our 13-year history at cleverbridge, we’ve been fortunate to have attracted some of the most talented people to join us on our mission to transform the way digital businesses sell globally online.
