As a visionary leader in the industry of critical event management, Everbridge recently announced the first Critical Event Management (CEM) Certification™ program for assessing an organization’s enterprise resilience. Developed from 20 years of professional services engagements across tens of thousands of projects in over 150 countries and facilitating tens of billions of critical interactions, Everbridge’s proprietary CEM Standards Framework^TM and related certification process offer organizations an end-to-end methodology for evaluating and benchmarking enterprise resilience preparedness.

Over the past year, Everbridge also brought together top government leaders, C-level executives and healthcare and security experts to shape the dialogue around a post-pandemic road to recovery. As the world contends with strategies to effectively re-open economies and return to work, Everbridge created a symposium series offering global leaders a valuable forum to exchange best practices on how to protect people and business assets; build back and grow revenue streams; increase business resiliency; and mitigate potential threats like IT outages, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and many other critical events.

The Everbridge Global Executive Leadership Summit engaged 40,000 senior executives, government, and health officials from 150 countries. Notable leaders interviewed by David Meredith include Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Anthony Fauci, MD, U.S. General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.), Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Co-Founder of Apollo Global Management and Co-Owner of the Philadelphia 76ers Josh Harris, and William Shatner.

“CEO World Awards celebrate the achievements of leaders, executives, and their management teams behind the year’s most outstanding initiatives and achievements,” as outlined by The Globee Award organizers. “This annual awards program recognizes individuals and teams who set industry benchmarks for excellence.”

David Meredith recently ranked Top 50 in the largest company category by Comparably for Best CEO (2020) and Best CEO for Diversity (2021), earning a CEO rating of A+, measured across 60,000+ companies. Numerous media outlets and industry organizations have hosted, recognized, and quoted Meredith from CNBC’s Mad Money with Jim Cramer, CNBC Squawk Alley, UK-based Sky News Live, Nasdaq Trade Talk, and NPR’s Morning Edition, among others.

The Globee^® Award caps off a broader period of recognition for Everbridge including winning a 2021 Service to the Citizen^TM: Champions of Change Award in the Industry category for the deployment of its Return to Work and vaccine distribution software solutions across the U.S. over the prior year. Everbridge also recently received Comparably Awards recognizing 2021 Best Company Global Culture and ranked the third highest-rated public cloud computing company to work for during COVID-19 using Glassdoor data. Additional recognition for Everbridge includes the Best Customer Experience Award from The Help Desk Institute (HDI), Frost & Sullivan’s Critical Event Management (CEM) Technology Leadership Award, and certification as a Great Place to Work^® for the second consecutive year by the Global Authority on Workplace Culture.
