Reeder was recognized for exemplifying innovation in the use of information technology and IT strategy, as well within the organization, to establish a competitive industry advantage.
Reeder, who has over 30 years experience in building software and systems for the creative and profitable application of technology, was selected to receive this award by the Boston Business Journal’s panel of senior technology leaders based on his dedication to business alignment, strong leadership capabilities and implementation of innovative technologies.

“The growth of data is always one step ahead of the current storage solutions and I believe this is already a senior level problem for enterprises of all sizes. Actifio allows us to protect the sensitive information of our users while managing the data with pioneered storage capacities,” said Robert Reeder, Rezolve Group CIO. “This technology has allowed me to eliminate backup software and enhance business resiliency while curbing storage growth. It is the most innovative technology process I have implemented as CIO and I am humbled to be recognized with the CIO of the Year award.”
