There's a whole team of people at each of their companies helping the businesses run and become successful. To recognize some of those unsung heroes, Business Insider worked with Okta (with some help from Twilio) to create the Up And Comer Awards.
Okta offers an identity management and access tool for workplaces, giving it an inside view on which apps are successful and growing in popularity, and we used its annual Businesses at Work report to target the companies behind the hottest apps and services to nominate an Up And Comer. The nominee had to be someone responsible for an important internal project who was not a founder or chief executive.
We received 22 nominations total which we narrowed down to the top ten performers based on the input of a panel of judges: Business Insider's Paayal Zaveri, Okta President of Technology Hector Aguilar, and Twilio's Chief Architect J.R. Jasperson.
Each judge scored the nominees on four criteria: their technical chops, the innovation of their projects, the impact those projects had on their companies, and the ingenuity of the projects and the person.
Without further adieu, here are this year's ten winners:
