The NC Tech Awards, North Carolina’s only statewide technology awards program, recognizes companies and individuals who have characterized excellence, innovation and leadership.
“I’ve worked with Mort for almost 13 years and he surprises me almost daily with the way that he can approach a problem from a unique perspective,” Aubrey Meador, President of ARCA, said. “Because of this skill, the team here doesn’t hesitate to approach Mort for insight into complicated issues that occasionally arise. Mort’s accessibility, as well as his problem-solving ability, is one of the reasons why ARCA is experiencing such tremendous growth.”
O’Sullivan is one of five finalists for Tech Executive of the Year. The winner will be chosen by a public vote in an online poll, which will be live on the NCTA’s website from September 15th-26th.
