Vistage International has named Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software Inc, a finalist in its 2011 Member Leadership Awards.
Vistage, a global CEO peer advisory organization with nearly 15,000 members, named Groves a finalist in the Innovation category of the awards. Centric is the provider of Centric 8 product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The recognition came as a result of Groves' successful leadership of Centric's mobile strategies and co-invention of Centric's mobile products for the apparel and fast-moving consumer goods markets. In the past year, Centric has released two patent-pending, industry-first mobile apps for PLM software.
Now in their second year, the Vistage Member Leadership Awards honor the inspiring business and community achievements of Vistage members who best exemplify the organization's values and its six cultural imperatives: Collaboration, Courage, Impact, Innovation, Judgment and Passion.
