The annual Best of Manhattan Award Program honors the best local businesses for their accomplishments and achievements, particularly measuring business growth. The program works with local business owners, professional associations, and marketing groups who contribute to the US Economy, recognizing their commitment to customer service and community involvement. The award is presented to companies that “implement programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.”
“We are honored to be recognized for the ability to adapt during difficult times, as we focused on celebrating our partner and community successes to bring the industry together, virtually,” comments Stephan Rohloff, CMO for DE-CIX. “A key driver for these efforts was our North American Virtual Summit, a virtual, video-based program we hosted in December 2020. The summit was a holistic compilation of our North American services, partnerships and expanding capabilities, forming a foundational point to announce the addition of two new multi-service IX locations in the US – Chicago and Richmond.”
