Tucows' CFO recognized through The Globe and
Mail's annual award, celebrating excellence among non-CEO
leaders
TORONTO, April 23, 2021
/CNW/ - Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC) is thrilled to announce that
its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Dave
Singh, has been awarded a 2021 Report on Business Best
Executive Award. Dave is one of ten leaders recognized in the
Canadian finance sector and was nominated by his team for being a
champion of equality, justice and charitable giving.
As CFO at Tucows — a global company dedicated to making the
internet better — Dave is mandated with championing business
growth, building the business for scale, and growing an elite
world-class finance team. His contributions to the organization,
however, go far beyond his role as a financial advisor.
"It's no secret that the last year has been particularly
challenging, for people and businesses alike," said Jess Johannson, Tucows' Chief People Officer.
"If there was ever a time to keep the status quo, this was it. But
rather than staying idle, Dave pushed us to lean into the issues at
hand and to contribute wherever we could. From starting employee
resource groups to introducing new charity initiatives, Dave helped
us foster community in a time when we all needed it the
most."
The Best Executive Award is an annual program hosted by The
Globe and Mail that celebrates excellence among executives at the
SVP, EVP and C-Suite level. Each year the Report on Business
recognizes 50 leaders working within the finance, human resources,
operations, sales or marketing, and technology sectors who make an
exceptional impact within their organizations.
"Dave has been a trusted partner at Tucows for over five
years and I'm proud to see him recognized within the Canadian
finance industry," said Elliot Noss,
CEO and President, Tucows. "Under his stewardship, we have
undergone four critical acquisitions, evolved our financial
practice, and have equipped our team with the tools and resources
to scale the company at large. He is an admired leader and we're
grateful for the contributions he continues to make within — and
outside of — our organization."
Tucows — which includes Ascio, Enom, EPAG, Hover, OpenSRS and
Ting Internet — provides network access, mobile technology
services, domain names and other internet services. The company
currently employs over 800 people worldwide and is slated to grow
its dispersed workforce by an additional 20 per cent in 2021.
The Globe and Mail first launched the Report on Business Best
Executive Awards in 2020. Winning executives for 2021 were chosen
after a call for nominations for leaders at Canadian public and
private businesses, not-for-profit institutions and/or academic
institutions. Nominations were assessed by the Report on Business
editorial team based on career background, leadership style,
achievements, and impact.
Winners of the Best Executive Awards are profiled editorially in
the April issue of Report on Business magazine, published online on
April 23 and in print April 24. To learn more about the Best Executive
Awards program and to see this year's winners, please
