serve as pioneers and visionaries, adding to the growth and
success of their organizations in countless ways.

will celebrate a monumental milestone with a 10-year anniversary celebration, recognizing information technology leaders in
San Diego.
LETTER FROM COX BUSINESS
My 16-year-old daughter just got her
driver’s license and has started carting
her friends around to various places
around town. That poses grave danger
to everyone in the county, so consider
this a warning. Anyway, while several
of the girls were sitting around talking
about which coffeehouse to go hang
out at, I overheard one girl suggest an
option. Another said, “No way! Their
Wi-Fi is terrible!” Well, that effectively
ended any chance that coffeehouse had of getting their business as they chose a spot with better connectivity and lesser
coffee. The moral of the story is that you’d be hard-pressed to
find a successful business that does not use technology to its
advantage.
By the same token, IT leaders, who toil in anonymity, may
not be finding cures for the world’s worst diseases or acting as
first responders in emergency situations, but they ARE enabling
others to do just that. Every day. Through the use of technology.
When I first came up with the idea of TTE back in 2006,
most people looked at me like I was crazy. And rightfully so.
“Nobody will come,” they said. “IT people don’t like parties,”
they said. Nine years later, our awards event is one of the
hottest tickets of the year and the San Diego business community is to be commended for recognizing just how important
the role of IT leadership is and how much they deserve this
recognition. This event is a platform to pay tribute to IT leaders
whose accomplishments draw the attention of their peers who
nominate, judge and select the Top Tech Exec honorees. It is
the ultimate compliment.
Cox Business would like to congratulate all of the 2016 Top
Tech Exec honorees and nominees. It is an inspiring group of
innovators who use technology to turn today’s obstacles into
tomorrow’s opportunities.

LETTER FROM
THE SAN DIEGO BUSINESS JOURNAL
From clouds to cybersecurity, our
modern world is becoming more and more
dependent on technology and the people
who develop, guide and innovate on those
platforms. From mobile apps to supply chain
protocol, information technology is now the
medium that drives business on every level
and today’s information technology executive must possess multidisciplined talents to
manage infrastructures, constantly morphing
software systems and rapidly expanding hardware needs.
As part of the 2016 Top Tech Exec Awards, the San Diego Business
Journal is proud to honor these intrepid entrepreneurs who gamble
their financial resources on their own innovative concepts; nonprofit
managers who struggle daily to keep social service centers operating
on outdated equipment and antiquated software; corporate technology administrators who diligently oversee interlayered systems
that keep their companies on the cutting-edge; and security experts,
schooled in the latest cybercrime trends, who keep watch on our
financial, defense, and personal privacy.
We salute all of this year’s nominees, at the forefront of this ever
evolving and essential support system. Without the expertise and creativity of these professionals, our modern business scene would move
at a snail’s pace.
Congratulations to all 2016 nominees.

with loan volume reaching $13.8 billion, up 86.1 percent from $7.4 billion

experience and the growth of mobile commerce. Guild has been an
industry leader in using technology to comply with the mortgage industry’s
