Nissan is made up of a richly diverse group of people, as reflected in the company’s leadership team and the numerous corporate outreach programs in which we participate in the community. Together, we have what it takes to build cars and trucks with the power to change both the way you view the world and the way you move in it.

The awards recognized those individuals and companies whose success has helped grow Nashville and the surrounding areas into a hub for technology.

Mayor Karl Dean remarked, “Technology jobs are an important factor in the growth of Nashville. The workers make higher than average wages and help fuel key industries including healthcare, publishing, music, and transactions.”
“Nashville has a great collection of technology talent in its companies and technologists as evidenced by tonight’s winners,” said Andy Flatt, CIO, HealthSpring and Chairman of the Nashville Technology Council. “The Nashville Technology Council is proud to bring this annual awards program to the region so we can recognize those companies that call Nashville home.”
