“In an everchanging world, we value the unwavering commitment and agility from tech leaders like these, who help strengthen and motivate those around them professionally,” says Mandy Walker, Executive Director of Marketing at Tech in Motion’s creator, Motion Recruitment. “Through the Timmys, we are glad for the opportunity to recognize leaders in tech workplaces dedicated to empowering their teams.”  

The selection criteria for the Best Tech Manager​ is based on the following: 

• Promotes career growth ​and inspires innovation ​ 
• Goes above and beyond to ensure a motivating, inclusive team culture​
• Employs a clear and communicated vision to produce an innovative product ​ 

“Derek personifies what we are about at SAVI: innovation and fun. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into a great leader who has helped this company become the force that it is today. “Derek fosters a trusting, supportive, and collaborative environment, that inspires the team’s passion for creating ground-breaking technology in the AV industry,” says John Dorsey, Founder and CEO of SAVI Controls.  

SAVI Controls is on a mission to radically improve the AV experience for customers and integrators by offering a simple commercial AV control system that takes hours, not weeks, to program. SAVI 3 is so easy to use, virtually no end-user training is required – saving integrators time and money on every installation. Say goodbye to boring and hello to SAVI.  

In addition to Best Tech Manager, you can also vote in four other Dallas Timmy Awards categories: Best Tech for Good, Best Tech Enterprise Employer, Best Tech Startup and Best Tech Work Culture.
