Newton Consulting President Rick Newton Selected CEO of the Year Finalist by Pittsburgh Technology Council; Company Named Service Provider Finalist Third Year in a Row
Pittsburgh, PA, October 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- For the third year in a row, Newton Consulting, LLC, a leading and fast growing information technology and human resource management consulting firm, was selected a finalist in the Service Provider category of the Pittsburgh Technology Council’s prestigious Tech 50 awards.
And for the first time, Rick Newton, the company’s president and founder, was named one of five finalists for the 2010 Tech 50 CEO of the Year award.
The annual Tech 50 awards event, held Oct. 14 in Pittsburgh, honored southwestern Pennsylvania’s most successful and innovative technology companies. Only 50 finalist companies were chosen in eight industry and growth sectors.
The Service Provider category included companies that deliver products, services, or processes that support the success of client technology companies. Newton Consulting was among seven finalists in this category, and was the category winner in 2008.
The CEO of the Year award recognized leaders who made substantial contributions to company performance and demonstrated outstanding leadership and high levels of peer esteem.
“During his employment at well-known IT consulting firms, Rick Newton was troubled as he continued to witness the typical corporate growth strategy – focus on profits first and customer service second,” reads the Tech 50 awards program. “Newton knew there had to be a different way, so he founded Newton Consulting in 2003 to construct a new paradigm of IT consulting in line with his personal values of service, integrity and trustworthy relationships. Because of Newton’s leadership and unique operating model, Newton Consulting has experienced rapid growth since its founding.”
Newton Consulting’s unique operating model is based on shared ownership with a focus on strong values and customer service. This model, along with a premier compensation and benefits package, serves to attract and retain top industry talent to serve clients in North America and Europe. The company has quickly grown to more than $10 million in annual revenue with 42 employees and approximately 40 partnering subcontractors. Its value proposition is serving growing mid-sized companies with leading and experienced consultants at rates significantly lower than large global firms.
“It is indeed an honor to be a service provider finalist three years in a row, and to be named a CEO of the Year finalist among a field of high-caliber leaders,” said Newton. “The service provider award affirms our customer-focused, values-driven business model, and the CEO of the Year award, more than highlighting my contributions, acknowledges the leadership and accomplishments of the entire Newton team.”
The Pittsburgh Technology Council has over 1,400 member companies based in southwestern Pennsylvania representing the industries of advanced manufacturing and materials, green technology, information technology and life sciences.
