Daon Named a Future 50 Company by Washington SmartCEO/Grant Thornton, LLP
Reston, VA. January 4, 2007 – Daon, a global leader in identity software and services, has been chosen as a winner in the annual Future 50 competition sponsored by SmartCEO and Grant Thornton, LLP. Companies are selected based on various growth metrics. Daon and the other award recipients will be honored at a gala on January 25 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott.
According to SmartCEO Associate Publisher, Jaime Nespor, “The Future 50 program is our way of celebrating growth and in the January issue the Future 50 CEO’s will share their fast growth secrets with our 18,000 C-level readers. We follow up this flagship issue with a sport’s themed Future 50 awards ceremony that is truly one of a kind. It is SmartCEO’s largest event of the year!”
SmartCEO believes that a "growing company" is really determined by the spirit, drive and dynamics of a company's owners and managers, rather than by the size of its building, the number of its employees, or its sales volume. That's why their focus is on decision makers from many different-sized businesses.
Daon’s CEO, Tom Grissen commented on the award saying, “Daon’s growth is attributable to our industry leading biometric identity management platform and the reputation our company has built in delivering ahead of schedule, to specification and on-budget. At Daon, we have remained focused on what we do best -- we have built a good brand by focusing on our core competencies and it has allowed us to avoid some of the false starts and confusion that often exists in an emerging market. Recent contract wins demonstrate that our customers and partners recognize our strengths, and it is further gratifying to be recognized by SmartCEO. We are pleased to be included in this impressive list of growing companies.”
