Top Tech Awards 2024 Honoree and Chief Information Officer for the State of Nevada reflects on program’s impact

Timothy Galluzi

What is it like to win a Top Tech Award?

It is an honor to be recognized by peers and industry leaders. It brings a profound sense of gratitude to represent an organization composed of brilliant technologists and to work with folks who understand the true meaning of service.

Why is it important to have a technology recognition awards program in Las Vegas?

The Top Tech Awards gives us an opportunity to shed light on those who are moving our industry and community forward. Recognizing and celebrating these achievements have a ripple effect: When people see their efforts acknowledged and celebrated, it inspires an even greater commitment to innovation and service.

What advice would you give aspiring innovators looking to make an impact on the tech industry?

Take a chance on yourself. Trust that you have the capability and the capacity to do amazing things, to make an impact on the lives of the people around you. If that means taking that class to get a certificate, enrolling in a higher education program, or going for that promotion, stop selling yourself short. Be relentless in your curiosity, never stop learning and don’t wait around for permission to grow.

If you know or work with a similar leader in technology who contributes to the success of industries such as cybersecurity, education, gaming, health care, nonprofits and more, nominate them for the 2025 Top Tech Awards today!
