Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Vadim
Vladimirskiy, CEO and co-founder of Nerdio, was named an
Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Midwest Award finalist. Nerdio is a
premier solution for organizations of all sizes looking to manage
and cost-optimize native Microsoft cloud technologies. After
co-founding IT services company Adar, Vladimirskiy founded Nerdio
to meet the needs of managed service providers and enterprise
organizations looking to build a successful cloud practice in
Microsoft Azure. Under Vladimirskiy’s leadership, Nerdio raised
$117M in its Series B led by Updata Partners at the end of 2022 and
doubled its annual recurring revenue in 2023, influencing more than
$225 million of Azure consumption annually.
"I am humbled by the nomination as a finalist for the
Entrepreneur of the Year® Midwest Award, which acknowledges
Nerdio's remarkable journey of growth,” said Vadim Vladimirskiy,
CEO, Nerdio. “Our success is a testament to the relentless pursuit
of innovation, fueled by a deep-rooted passion for technology and
entrepreneurship. Being recognized as a finalist is a tribute to
our shared vision and the impact we strive to make in the world of
technology.”
In April 2024, Nerdio unveiled AI-powered capabilities and
automation updates to its flagship product, Nerdio Manager, to
further innovation for IT teams using Microsoft cloud technologies.
An engineer at heart, Vladimirskiy is dedicated to putting
technology excellence at the forefront of Nerdio’s mission while
driving success for Nerdio customers such as Teleperformance,
British Columbia Lottery Association, The University of North
Florida, Make-A-Wish UK, Equitable Bank, and more.
Vladimirskiy was one of 30 regional entrepreneurs selected as
finalists by an independent panel of judges. The candidates were
evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value
through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among
other core contributions and attributes. Entrepreneur Of The Year
honors many different types of business leaders for their
ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit.
“Updata Partners has had the privilege of working alongside
Vadim and couldn't be prouder of his exceptional ability to
transform Nerdio into a pioneering force within the DaaS space.
Vadim's visionary leadership continues to inspire us all, and we
eagerly anticipate the continued success of Nerdio under his
guidance,” said Carter Griffin, General Partner at Updata
Partners.
