John A. Meyer, Chairman and CEO of Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., received the 2013 Mid-Market CEO of the Year award for exceptional achievement and leadership from CEO Connection, in conjunction with the Wharton School of Business. The award will be presented at a special dinner on October 21, 2013, the first night of the CEO Connection Mid-Market Convention.
“Arise is challenging the norm and changing the way the world thinks about work,” stated John Meyer. “I am honored to receive the Mid-Market CEO of the Year Award. My success is a testament to Arise’s innovative business model and the caliber of the Arise team. Arise provides the ability to disrupt the market with a solution that delivers high quality, cost effective, on-shore capabilities to our clients, around technical support and customer service, while offering unique opportunities for individuals to work from home.”
“A former Air Force flight commander, John Meyer’s dedication to service is apparent in every aspect of his work as CEO of Arise—including the incredible efforts he makes to help fellow veterans re-enter the workforce. He spearheaded Arise’s partnership with the Joining Forces initiative this past spring. He encourages employees to participate in Habitat for Humanity builds and focuses on how Arise Virtual Solutions can be a great help for those who want to help themselves,” Kenneth Beck, CEO of CEO Connection.
With over 30 years of experience, John Meyer is known for building high growth organizations, in new markets, in both the United States and internationally. In the late 80’s through the early 2000’s, while at EDS, Meyer was at the forefront of the I.T. Outsourcing market. During that time, I.T. Outsourcing was a relatively new idea, which transformed into what is now a globally recognized outsourcing offering.
