The state’s technology initiative says list features movers who work to grow tech companies in the state, but don’t get as much public recognition as top executives.
TechPoint says nearly 60 tech companies in Indiana took part in the nomination process, with each company nominating one person. The winners were chosen from three main categories, including product and software development, sales and marketing, and "other."
"In addition to being star performers at their companies, winners are committed team players who build others up through mentoring, volunteering and positive example and are committed to contributing to the broader tech community," TechPoint said in a news release.
