PivotNine's founder and principal analyst, Justin Warren, has joined the judging panel for the global Tech Trailblazers awards.

Justin joins an esteemed international roster of judges, and will contribute his extensive consulting and analyst experience to the already talented group.

“I’m honoured to join such an illustrious group of judges for this year’s Awards,” he said. “As I know from my work with PivotNine clients, startups in every country are doing fascinating things and I look forward to seeing what this year’s crop of applicants has to share with us. Hopefully I can raise the profile of these awards in Australia and entice more local startups to compete on the global stage.”

Now in its 13th year, the Tech Trailblazer awards plays a vital role in recognizing excellence and innovation in the global tech startup community, with an emphasis on enterprise technology companies. The awards have consistently opened doors for young and dynamic firms to showcase their pioneering ideas.

Rose Ross, founder of the Tech Trailblazers, expressed her delight in welcoming Justin to the judging panel.

“We are delighted to welcome Justin to the esteemed judging panel, strengthening our judges across APAC,” she said. “We see a great opportunity for startups there to join the swell of startups who are, unsurprisingly, well represented from the US and Europe. Our ambition has always been to be a truly global platform so seeing more of the great startups from across in the APAC region will make for an even more internationally diverse cohort this year. Australia has elevated its standing in cyber, for example, and in parallel we are seeing a lot of innovation being driven by startups there.”

Justin and Rose were recently part of a discussion focused on the startup ecosystem hosted by fellow Tech Trailblazers judge and ambassador, Stephen Foskett, on the On-Premise IT podcast from Gestalt IT.
