Honors Program's 21st Annual Laureates Medal Ceremony & Gala Awards
Evening. For over two decades, the Computerworld Honors Program has
acknowledged those individuals and organizations that have used information
technology to benefit society.
"The Morgan Stanley Leadership Award for Global Commerce recognizes
individuals whose personal leadership has made a critical contribution to
the effective use of IT in the positive exchange of value for value
throughout the world," said David Reilly, CIO of Enterprise Infrastructure,
Morgan Stanley. "Both Dan and Tom exemplify the professional and technical
leadership that our award stands for. Together they have built a great
company with innovative products and along the way have assembled a really
world-class team."
"It is a great honor to receive the Morgan Stanley Leadership Award for
Global Commerce," said Dan Warmenhoven. "This award is a testament to the
remarkable achievements NetApp has attained in the marketplace. Our success
is the result of our strong corporate culture, which values teamwork,
productivity, leadership, and innovation."
"I am proud to receive the leadership award that recognizes the amazing
results we have achieved as a team," said Tom Mendoza. "I have a simple
leadership belief, which is that people don't care what you know unless
they know that you care. You believe in me and I believe in you. Together
we will sacrifice and succeed. NetApp's culture is the embodiment of this
belief."
The Computerworld Honors Program unites chairmen and CEOs of the world's
foremost information technology companies to recognize the most outstanding
user achievements in technology each year. Members of the Chairmen's
Committee, a group of 100 chairmen/CEOs of global technology companies,
