GDS Group Launch the Leadership Excellence Awards
The awards recognize the executive leaders most deserving of recognition for delivering real value to their organizations
Launching in October 2020, GDS Group is delighted to announce the Leadership Excellence awards. The awards look to recognize excellence in senior leadership within large enterprises across Europe and North America.
The Leadership Excellence Awards will run alongside the GDS Digital Summits which provide a forum to learn from peers about how they are approaching common challenges and opportunities within their respective organizations.
Each of these summits will then host an award ceremony at the end of the event, giving outstanding individuals the chance to be recognized for their achievements.
Each awards category is aligned to a summit of the same theme and at the end of the summit the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards winners will be announced.
