“There would be no recognition, no awards, no ‘top’ anything, if it weren’t for our high performing Sales Partners and the exceptional colleagues we have at Intelisys. This community is truly the best of the best, and this ranking isn’t about me. It’s about a commitment to this community and the people in it, every single day,” said Bradley. “My focus is on supporting our Sales Partners, and helping them grow their businesses. This recognition belongs to our channel community—I am inspired by your engagement and dedication to raising the bar.”
Jay’s standing in the 2017 Owler Top Rated CEO rankings placed him in good company, as he made the list alongside leaders of Salesforce, LinkedIn and Netflix, as well as CEOs of Intelisys Supplier Partners Nextiva, NTT Communications, Telefonica, Star2Star, Broadview Networks, GTT, Jive, Vonage, Colt, Verizon Wireless, Evolve IP, Level3, Bright House Networks, Zayo, CenturyLink, Shaw, ShoreTel, Verizon, Global Capacity, 8×8, Ring Central, T-Mobile, Frontier, AT&T, Sierra Wireless, Telstra, Arkadin, Integra (ELI), Sprint, and Altice (Optimum Business, Lightpath and Suddenlink). 2017 Owler Top Rated CEO Awards provide a complete market view of a CEO’s rating, which includes ratings from employees, competitors, followers, and general Owler users.
“The 2017 Owler Top Rated CEO Awards are a true market view of the most esteemed CEOs,” said Jim Fowler, CEO at Owler. “These winners are truly the best of breed: they beat out the other 99.4 percent of leaders on our platform to win a coveted 2017 Owler Top Rated CEO Award.”
“Positioning Jay at the helm of the Intelisys executive leadership team is one of the smartest decisions we ever made,” said Rick Sheldon, Co-Founder of Intelisys. “He is a true leader in every sense of the word, and his attention is never on himself—it’s on our Sales Partners—which is why his reputation is what it is. I’m privileged to see him in action as a company leader and to call him a friend.”
