But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the North America winners. We believe Pivotal Systems embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Pivotal Systems executive team and all its employees should be very proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.” Pivotal Systems CEO, John Hoffman added, “Pivotal Systems is extremely pleased to be selected by Red Herring as a top company for 2015. We take great pride in truly making a real difference in bringing advanced technology to the global market. To be selected by Red Herring tells us that we are on the right track”.
