Tilson President, Josh Broder, is named the 2009 CxO of the Year by TechMaine.  The award is presented to a senior level executive at a technology company headquartered in Maine that has been in operation at least three years, and whose company receives high ratings in sales growth, job creation in Maine, profitability, return-on-equity, new products and/or product upgrade releases, innovative technology applications, legislative activities pertinent to the technology sector and other civic and community involvement. 

In three short years, Josh progressed from Consultant to General Manager to his current position as President—all by the age of 30.  After recently hiring the company’s 16th employee, Josh has proven that a humanistic management approach coupled with creative entrepreneurship can lead to exponential company growth.  In 12 months, Josh led the Tilson family of companies from $1M in gross revenues to $1.7M. Tilson’s web development arm in the same timeframe grew 400 percent alone.  Tilson also expanded into other geographic markets including Los Angeles, New York, Calgary, Switzerland and Dubai. 

Congratulations to Josh and all of the finalists for CxO of the Year.
