NVTC "Hot Ticket Awards" Nominees 2010

The nominee list is large and there are a lot of deserving companies. Glad to see Grotech's portfolio well represented with nominations for BroadSoft, Clarabridge, Invincea, LivingSocial and Zenoss. It is always a fun evening and usually a sell out event.

Here is a link to the nominee list and registration information.

Clarabridge, the leading provider of text analytics software used by many Fortune 500 companies to improve customer experience management (CEM), today announced that it has expanded its board of directors via the addition of Sanju Bansal, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MicroStrategy, Inc., a global leader in business intelligence technology.

The addition brings the total number of Clarabridge board members to seven including myself.

"With his extensive experience and leadership in operations, engineering, and research and development functions, Sanju will be a tremendous asset to the Clarabridge board," said Sid Banerjee, chief executive officer of Clarabridge. "His 23-year track record of leadership and success within the business intelligence and consulting industry speaks for itself. We are thrilled to have him join us."

We are quite fortunate to have Sanju on the Clarabridge board as the company continues its aggressive growth.

Sanju Bansal is currently executive vice president and chief operating officer of MicroStrategy. He has been a member of the board of directors of MicroStrategy since 1997 and has served as vice chairman of the board of directors since 2000. Prior to joining MicroStrategy, Bansal was a consultant at Booz Allen & Hamilton, a worldwide technical and management consulting firm. Bansal received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Master of Science in Computer Science from The Johns Hopkins University. Bansal also serves on the Board of Directors of Cvent and The Advisory Board Company.

This annual event which recognizes the "Hottest" companies in a variety of categories, including "Hottest Venture Deal", "Hottest Management Team" and "Hottest Buzz" among others, will be held on June 24th this year. This is a fun, popular event which typically sells out.

Zenoss won "Hottest Venture Deal" last year and LivingSocial is nominated in the same category this year. Clarabridge is nominated in both the "Hottest Management Team" and "Hottest Buzz" category. Good luck to both of them.

Here's a link to the full list of nominees:
