Award Recognizes Nancy’s Support of Economic
Ties between Canada and U.S. and Track Record of Building
Successful Technology Businesses
ViaWest, a leading provider of Hybrid IT Solutions and
Colocation in North America, today announced that President and CEO
Nancy Phillips was recently awarded the Governor General’s
Medallion. The award came in recognition of her service and support
of the economic ties between Canada and the United States, and her
distinguished track record building technology businesses.
Governor General of Canada David Johnston presented the award to
Nancy at a ceremony in Denver, stating, “Your contributions to the
growth of the telecommunications industry have been nothing short
of phenomenal. You have set a high standard for others in your
field, and serve as a shining example and mentor to young
entrepreneurs.”
An innovative leader, proven entrepreneur and seasoned
executive, Nancy is active in the Colorado startup and
entrepreneurial communities as an angel investor, mentor and
advisor. Prior to ViaWest, Nancy held founder and senior-level
positions with numerous technology companies, including TSC,
ConferTech International, ITC, RMI.net and Intrepid Communications.
During her tenure, she has helped to grow companies both
organically and through strategic mergers and acquisitions, while
delivering industry-leading growth with a deep client-centric
focus.
Nancy’s roots in the entrepreneurial community and focus on
diversity in the technology workforce are demonstrated by her board
and advisory roles. She serves on the board of the National Center
for Women and Information Technology, where she is also the vice
chair; the Colorado Technology Association (CTA); Startup Colorado;
and the Blackstone Entrepreneurs Network. She has also been a board
member – and remains a strong supporter – of the
nationally-recognized Denver School of Science and Technology.
“I’m truly honored to receive such recognition from the Governor
General of Canada and hope to continue helping improve the U.S. and
Canadian economies through service and entrepreneurship,” said
ViaWest president and CEO Nancy Phillips. “Now that ViaWest is a
part of Canada’s Shaw Communications family, we look forward to
bringing our countries even closer.”
