The Software Report is pleased to announce the Top 25 Software Product Executives of 2020. Some of the largest and most reputable software companies nominated their product heads. We were impressed with the number and caliber of candidates put forth. Each nominee was evaluated across a number of categories including product track record, breadth of capabilities, leadership and promoting a positive working environment among other factors. The Software Report also conducted candidate evaluation based on company competitiveness within the broader software industry and how the individual compared to the most exceptional executives.

While it is more common to see and hear from a company’s CEO, product executives are frequently the linchpins of an organization. They play a critical role in a company sustaining its competitiveness in the market and achieving its higher ambitions while ensuring existing and new customers are consistently experiencing success with their software solution.

Darrell Denny Named CEO At Identify Relevance, Inc.


Darrell Denny

Michael J. Skerly, Chairman and COO of Identify Relevance, Inc. announced today that Darrell Denny, a longtime media and trade show executive, has joined the company as Chief Executive Officer. Denny is a veteran of 33 years in the events, publishing and digital media space working across technology, fashion, recreation, nutrition and eCommerce marketplaces. Denny worked for a decade each at Miller Freeman, Penton Media and, most recently, Emerald Expositions where he was Executive Vice President of the company’s eCommerce, Sports and Apparel group of trade shows, conferences, websites, print and digital publications.

Identify Relevance, based in Laguna Niguel, California, is an innovative, SaaS-based, artificial intelligence-powered engine that allows client users to easily and inexpensively gather and distribute content that resonates with their customers and prospects. IR client companies most frequently use Identify Relevance to select the most important content derived from a myriad of sources and populate eNewsletters which are, then, sent to target audiences.

“We are pleased to have a person of Darrell’s experience and reputation join us” Skerly said. “A longtime friend, Darrell has been an advisor to us for some time and we are glad he is bringing his leadership and strategy-setting skills to our company in a bigger way.”

“I am excited to be joining Identify Relevance as CEO at a meaningful time in the company’s evolution,” Denny said. “IR is an important tool that trade show and conference producing companies and associations should be using now more than ever.”

Given its AI nature, the IR engine learns what interactions users are having with specific content and applies that learning to suggested content selection going forward, improving its appropriateness. Marketers agree that on-target eNewsletters are the most frequently opened, read and effective content marketing vehicles.

“As we know, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the postponement or cancellation of nearly all trade shows and conferences worldwide. IR’s content engine gives event producers an inexpensive and easy-to-use way to drive significant digital revenue while employing eNewsletters that help preserve customer loyalty and community. It also provides a means to build a following among new niche segment prospects. IR can help event producers survive until shows rebound and it will help events to rebound faster,” Denny said.

Identify Relevance, based in Laguna Niguel, California, was co-founded by Skerly and two colleagues, Scott Fackert and Ben Allfree. Skerly previously co-founded content identification and management businesses Aggregage, YOPCA and Digital Media Online and worked extensively with IntroNetworks and media company Advanstar Communications which is, now, part of Informa.

Fackert is IR’s Chief Revenue Officer. Fackert has 20 years’ experience working on traditional and internet technology businesses including brand formulation, business development and content marketing.

Allfree, IR’s Chief Technology Officer, brings words and concepts into reality via technical leadership, software architecture and programming and has had, as clients, startups and established companies such as Sony Pictures, Polaroid, Texas Instruments, Adobe and Microsoft.

“What I love about IR is its simplicity and flexibility,” Denny said. “The tool is intuitive to use, and you can smoothly flow content into a changeable eNewsletter template to be paired with articles, blogs and advertising of all kinds. This gives our clients the ability and flexibility to monetize lead generation, custom content, pay-per-click or pay-per-impression advertising, white paper downloads, brand marketing, really, whatever the customer needs.

holoride CEO named a 2020 Rising Star by Automotive News Europe


holoride

“I’m honored to receive this award, especially on behalf of all holoriders who push the boundaries of what’s possible. From the beginning, we’ve made it our goal to drive innovation in the auto industry by helping car manufacturers prioritize the passenger experience.”

German startup holoride announced today its CEO and co-founder, Nils Wollny, was honored as a ‘Rising Star’ for 2020 by Automotive News Europe in the Entrepreneur category, an award which recognizes executives in the automotive industry who have driven change, fostered innovation and made courageous decisions.

In 2018, Nils and holoride co-founders Marcus Kuehne and Daniel Profendiner decided more needed to be done to turn transit time into valuable time. With this in mind, they created a revolutionary new media category for passengers by connecting extended reality (XR) content with data points from vehicles in real-time, transforming everyday journeys into hyper-immersive experiences.

Since then, holoride has become the leader of in-vehicle entertainment, being named the best of CES 2019 by TechCrunch and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Best Inventions of 2019. The company was recently awarded a Grand Prix in the digital media category at the prestigious Art Directors Club (ADC) Awards in Germany.

“I’m honored to receive this award, especially on behalf of all holoriders who push the boundaries of what’s possible. From the beginning, we’ve made it our goal to drive innovation in the auto industry by helping car manufacturers prioritize the passenger experience,” says Nils Wollny, CEO and co-founder of holoride. “This year, we’re looking forward to working with more content studios, developers and mobility providers to not only offer entertainment, but explore educational, well-being, and productivity options as well. In our current climate, virtual reality content has numerous benefits for learning and productivity, and presents a key opportunity for the auto industry to support passengers in a meaningful way.”

holoride has already teamed up with leading car manufacturers and content creators to bring their vision to life, including Audi, Porsche and the Discovery Channel. In October 2019, they launched the first in-vehicle VR experience available to the public in partnership with Ford, REWIND and Universal Pictures called Bride of Frankenstein holoride. In recognition of their work on Bride of Frankenstein holoride, the partners were awarded the 2020 Auggie Award for best location-based entertainment which is considered the most recognized AR & VR awards show in the world.

In April 2020, holoride announced the formation of their strategic advisory board with major industry leaders and pioneers from tech, mobility and Hollywood to continue their endeavor in driving the future of in-vehicle entertainment.

Prior to co-founding holoride, Nils served as Head of Digital Business at Audi where he was responsible for digital services and platforms. He is passionate about mobility and media and was named one of the “40 under 40” high-potential managers by the renowned German publication “Automobilwoche” in 2018.

About Rising Stars:

Entering its 10th year, the Automotive News Europe Rising Star award honors automotive executives in middle and upper management in all disciplines, across Europe, together with the companies who are nurturing that future leadership talent.

About holoride:

German startup holoride creates an entirely new media category for passengers by connecting Extended Reality (XR) content with data points from the vehicle in real-time. These data points include physical feedback, like acceleration and steering, traffic data, as well as travel route and time. holoride technology provides a new type of immersion into any kind of VR content, creating a breathtaking, immersive experience, and significantly reducing motion sickness. The entertainment-tech startup was founded at the end of 2018 in Munich, Germany by Nils Wollny, Marcus Kuehne, Daniel Profendiner, and Audi, who holds a minority interest in the startup. It was hailed “Best of CES” four times (Las Vegas, January 2019), recognized as one of the 100 Best Inventions of 2019 by TIME Magazine and is part of the global innovation platform “STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play.”
