Santa Clara, Calif. – (June 19, 2013) – Santa Clara-based general contractor Blach Construction Company is pleased to announce that Dominic Silvia, Director of IT Services, was recently selected to receive the “Rising Star / Future CIO” award, presented by the Silicon Valley Business Journal and San Francisco Business Times.
Two years ago, the Silicon Valley Business Journal and San Francisco Business Times created the Bay Area Chief Information Officer (CIO) Awards. The event brings together some of the most highly regarded businesses and nonprofits in Silicon Valley and recognizes the leaders within these companies who are driving change through information technology and innovation.
During the ceremony hosted at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose last week, Silvia was one of three finalists to vie for the “Rising Star / Future CIO” prize. In addition to these individuals, 16 more finalists were in the running to win five other awards, including “Community Champion,” “Public Company,” “Private Company,” “Innovation / Transformation” and “Judge’s Choice.”
The nomination criteria for the CIO Awards include demonstrated innovative use of IT to create competitive advantage, optimize business processes and enable growth. In addition, nominees must show initiative to go above and beyond the regular scope of duties as well as setting the bar higher for competitors.
