VIRGINIA, USA — The Stevie Awards, organizer of the world’s premier business awards programs, announced the winners of five Grand Stevie Award trophies in the 11th annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the only awards program to recognize innovation in the workplace throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners in various categories were announced on April 10.
