Co-founders Chief Technology Officer Tom Daly and Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Hitchcock were recognized for their work at Dyn, which they founded in 1998. It takes a village for a company to grow and it's a great mix of staff, friends, family, and customers that have gotten us to here, Hitchcock said. I'm excited about the progress we've made and I hope we inspire others to join the entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Manchester and southern New Hampshire.
