WESTPORT, Conn., Dec. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMG Strategy, the world’s foremost executive leadership network, experienced its 12th consecutive year of extraordinary growth and success, fueled by an exceptional alliance of executive leaders, a commitment to giving back to the community and an unmatched recognition awards program.
“We broke all of our previous records and raised the bar to amazing new heights,” said Hunter Muller, President and CEO. “Our team of rock stars is truly amazing. They work with compassion, integrity, trust and gratitude. We are extremely grateful to all of our speakers, sponsors, advisory board members and event attendees.”
Recognizing that type of unparalleled dedication and integrity across the world, HMG Strategy’s upcoming 2020 Global Technology Executives Who Matter Awards has received high praise and generated accolades across the technology industry.
“There has never been a better time to be a technology leader, and our unique awards program highlights the unprecedented level of achievements by technology leaders and executives,” Muller said.

“Recognizing the C-suite and senior technology executives who matter shines a spotlight on the people who are changing our world,” Muller said. “Our recognition program connects recipients to our digital footprint which receives more than 1 million impressions per week.”
The expansion of HMG Strategy’s premiere awards program, and recognition of the program’s champions, would not be possible without the record-breaking success seen in the past year.
A key reason for that huge success was the vast diversity of regional markets that the company’s events and experience cater to. The impressive 2019 lineup of events included over 20 locations across North America and Europe. Here are the top locations for our 2020 summits:
HMG Strategy will also be proudly producing the Society for Information Management (SIM) International’s SIM Connect Live 2020 national conference, a three-day event in Austin, TX in December 2020 that will draw 600 to 1,000 CIOs, senior technology executives, top-tier consultants and academics.
In addition to that immensely successful lineup of events and experiences, HMG Strategy proudly hosts a venture capital component, HMG Ventures, which is designed to connect CIOs and technology executives with the most innovative enterprise technology companies from Silicon Valley to Tel Aviv.
An early venture investment for the company is in Moveworks—an AI, machine learning, enterprise natural language processing and chatbot platform that resolves IT service desk support issues instantly and automatically.
HMG Ventures has garnered new potential investors to help grow early stage technology companies into 2020 and beyond. Speaking to the success of HMG Ventures, one investment, Moveworks, has grown 10X in value since the inception of HMG Strategy’s venture capital component.
Another core component to HMG Strategy’s unparalleled year of success was the CIO and CISO Executive Leadership Alliance (CELA) program—a unique peer-to-peer advisory service designed for top-tier technology leaders to explore common opportunities and top challenges with one another. The alliance experienced unprecedented growth in 2019, keeping members apprised of the most innovative and successful strategies in the world.
“Participation in the CELA program means investing time in some of the most important thought leadership and career ascent today,” Muller said. “The insights our members gain in this forward-looking advisory model are absolutely crucial.”
As the technology industry continues to accelerate at an unprecedented rate, HMG Strategy has expanded to match that pace. The company has grown its team by welcoming several new executive and associate-level employees in the Office of the CEO, plus the research and communications divisions. As 2020 approaches, HMG Strategy is hoping to welcome several additional team members in sales, marketing and client success.

“It's been an unbelievable year, and here’s to an even better 2020,” said Hunter Muller. “We can’t wait to see what new winning strategies will drive tech next year.”
