Since its founding in 2014, SynergenX Health has focused on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and weight management, aiming to improve patients’ quality of life through personalized healthcare solutions. Based in Houston, Texas, the company now employs over 200 staff members across 21 locations, offering hormone therapy programs tailored to individual patient needs.

Under the leadership of Wayne Wilson, founder and CEO, SynergenX Health has expanded its reach while emphasizing patient-centered care. Wilson’s background as a physician assistant and military veteran has informed a practical, data-driven approach to healthcare management, balancing clinical insight with operational strategy.

Wilson has been instrumental in raising awareness about hormone replacement therapy for women through HerKare, a SynergenX brand dedicated to female wellness. By offering personalized HRT plans using controlled injections, topical creams, and bioidentical pellets, SynergenX and HerKare provide care designed to alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, mood fluctuations, and decreased libido. These efforts have addressed a previously underrepresented segment of the healthcare market.

The company has also forged high-profile partnerships, including a collaboration announced during Super Bowl LIX with retired professional athletes. The initiative, featuring Al Smith, former NFL All-Pro linebacker and SynergenX Ambassador, focused on men’s testosterone health and sought to highlight the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for post-career athletes and the broader public.

Operationally, Wilson has applied data-driven strategies to improve patient acquisition, retention, and service quality. By leveraging KPIs and predictive analytics, SynergenX Health has refined its approach to scaling multi-site practices while maintaining consistent care standards across all locations.

Wilson’s leadership extends beyond clinical innovation to corporate strategy and business development. His work in expanding access to hormone therapy, optimizing operational efficiency, and raising public awareness reflects a comprehensive approach to healthcare leadership.

Wayne Wilson earned a Silver Stevie Award for Best Entrepreneur – Health Products & Services in The 2025 American Business Awards®.

Autonomous vehicle technology is transforming the transportation industry, and Torc Robotics is at the forefront of this change. Founded in 2005, the San Jose–based company specializes in scalable, safety-critical systems for Level 4 autonomous driving, with a primary focus on heavy-duty trucks. Over nearly two decades, Torc has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and practical solutions for freight and logistics operations.

Torc’s technical achievements are underpinned by its multi-modal perception framework, which integrates LiDAR, radar, and camera data to provide highly accurate situational awareness. Since January 2023, enhancements to this system have increased object detection accuracy by 40% and improved lane prediction precision by 50%, enabling safer navigation in complex environments such as urban areas and construction zones.

The company has also advanced real-time inference capabilities, reducing latency by 75% through TensorRT optimizations. With sub-millisecond response times while processing over 500,000 sensor frames per second, Torc’s vehicles can respond swiftly to dynamic scenarios, supporting both safety and operational efficiency.

In parallel, Torc implemented a scalable microservices architecture using AWS ECS and Kubernetes, achieving 99.9% uptime and seamless over-the-air updates. This cloud-based approach allows for rapid deployment across fleets, supporting continuous improvements without operational interruptions.

The company’s synthetic data augmentation pipeline has further enhanced rare object detection by 30% and accelerated model retraining by 60%, improving performance in edge-case scenarios that traditional data collection cannot easily replicate.

Torc’s pilot programs demonstrate tangible results. Autonomous trucks operating in customer fleets achieved a 20% reduction in accident rates and a 15% increase in vehicle availability, indicating meaningful improvements to both safety and efficiency. These real-world outcomes complement the company’s technical innovations, showing the practical value of its autonomous solutions.

Among the individuals contributing to Torc’s advancements, Vineeth Reddy Vatti, Machine Learning Engineer, has made notable achievements in multi-modal fusion frameworks, ego-motion compensation, and HD mapping.

Since joining in 2023, Vineeth’s work has reduced inference latency to 0.5 milliseconds and improved map generation accuracy, reflecting leadership in both applied and theoretical AI. His contributions have been recognized through industry awards and conference presentations.

Torc Robotics won a Gold Stevie Award for Company of the Year in Automotive & Transport Equipment - Medium, and Vineeth Reddy Vatti earned a Silver Stevie Award for Technical Professional of the Year in The 2025 American Business Awards®.

In today’s connected world, the need for personal data security remains a growing concern. As technology advances, so do the methods used by online scammers and identity thieves.

Based in San Diego, California, OmniWatch was established in 2022 to meet this challenge head-on. The company’s goal is to help consumers monitor, protect, and restore their digital identities through accessible and transparent tools.

Launched in 2023, OmniWatch offers real-time monitoring for credit and identity theft, along with continuous dark web scanning. Its approach emphasizes prevention, providing users with early alerts when suspicious activity is detected. This proactive model reflects a broader industry shift toward empowering consumers with real-time insights, rather than relying solely on reactive recovery.

Scam and Identity Theft Protection
One of OmniWatch’s most notable developments since 2023 is its Scam Protection Center, a feature designed to help users assess potential threats before they act. By allowing individuals to scan texts, emails, or URLs for legitimacy, the tool enables users to quickly identify potential scams. It also provides a safety rating to guide decisions — a practical addition as phishing and fraud attempts become more sophisticated.

The company’s coverage model also distinguishes it from many competitors. OmniWatch provides up to $2 million in identity theft protection insurance for all users, with additional coverage for ransomware and social engineering losses available to Elite plan holders. These areas of coverage are not typically included in many standard protection plans, positioning OmniWatch as a provider responding directly to the evolving nature of digital threats.

Recognizing that online fraud increasingly involves complex tactics, such as AI-generated deepfakes and voice cloning, OmniWatch’s expanded coverage represents an acknowledgment of the evolving cybersecurity landscape. By offering protection in these emerging areas, the company demonstrates how identity protection providers can adapt to meet the demands of a rapidly shifting threat environment.

OmniWatch’s continuous dark web monitoring further supports its preventive framework. The system continuously scans for compromised personal data, providing notifications when user information is identified. This enables individuals to take timely action and underscores the importance of vigilance in modern digital security.

Since its launch, OmniWatch has grown to a team of 100 employees and earned recognition for its focus on innovation and consumer protection. Through its combination of monitoring technology, practical prevention tools, and inclusive insurance coverage, the company continues to contribute to broader conversations about how individuals can stay protected in an increasingly digital world.

OmniWatch won a Gold Stevie Award for Company of the Year (Medium) - Computer Services in The 2025 American Business Awards®.

The company’s commercial real estate marketplace expanded to include over 100 lenders, offering a diverse range of loan options for multifamily, retail, industrial, and other sectors. Additionally, the launch of the Loanspark Partner API provides seamless access to capital through embedded platforms, simplifying the lending process and increasing accessibility for small businesses.

Over the past year, Loanspark has further strengthened its leadership position. Securing the trademark for BLaaS™, launching an executive-led podcast, and forming strategic partnerships with national enterprise platforms have reinforced its industry influence. Conversion rates for qualified applicants now exceed 65% across all business loan product types, and 89% across all real estate loan products, more than 2.5 times the national benchmark, demonstrating both strong market demand and the effectiveness of its embedded lending model.

Loanspark continues to combine technology, thought leadership, and strategic partnerships to redefine business lending. By expanding access to capital, supporting diverse communities, and enabling SMBs and real estate investors to thrive, Loanspark demonstrates measurable impact across industries.

For the past two years, the Stevie® Awards team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to create something we know you’ll love.

The system we built more than 20 years ago to manage and run most of our Stevie Awards programs has reached the end of its life.

After over two decades of operating under the same website, entry platforms, and judging systems, we are introducing a fully modernized, user-friendly website and upgraded platform for entrants and judges across all nine Stevie Awards programs!

This new system is fully operational for The 24th Annual American Business Awards®, the 20th annual Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service and the 14th Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards new sites will be live as soon as next week. We will be transitioning our other awards programs onto the new platform as they open for nominations throughout this Fall and 2026.

View the schedule in the table below:

The new system has many benefits for entrants, judges, and Stevie Awards administrators. Founder & Executive Chairman of the Stevie Awards, Michael Gallagher, announced:

"This milestone refresh has been a long time coming, and we are excited to announce that it's finally here.

From selecting categories to submitting entries, and managing nominations across multiple competitions, you will find that every step of the Stevie Awards nomination process has been upgraded from our former antiquated system." 

Stevie Awards President, Maggie Miller, added:

"Whether you’re a first-time entrant, a returning participant, or one of our dedicated judges, this overhaul is designed to make entering or judging the Stevie Awards a simpler, faster, and more intuitive experience."

Below, you will find a list of the top benefits that make the new Stevie Awards website and system better than ever. Among them are:

1. Single Sign-On Across All Stevie Awards Programs 🏆

Previously, to enter or judge multiple Stevie Awards programs, users were required to create separate logins for each competition. Now, through one Stevie Awards entry account, you will be able to submit nominations or apply to judge in any of our awards programs. No more multiple logins! As each program opens for 2026, it will open on the new system. For now, you can login to closed programs through the old platform. 

As shown below, if you are logged in to your entry account, it's easy to select a program from the dropdown menu.

2. Superior Performance👌

The new system is built on the latest and best available tools and services, and is significantly faster and easier to use than the current system. The new website is fully mobile-friendly, and entrants can now submit nominations on their phones or tablets if they choose to do so. The technology foundation allows us to continually add new features and enhancements, so the experience will keep improving year after year.

The only Stevie Awards system that will not be integrated into the new system is the official Stevie Awards Store, which will continue to run on Shopify. Our store is where winners purchase additional trophies, medallions, certificates, and commemorative items. 

3. One Account for Judges Across all Stevie Awards Programs 👨‍⚖️

Just as each entrant will now only need one account through which to enter any or all of our programs, judges can apply to judge one or more of them, and act as a judge for any of them under one login.

4. Archival Storage 💽

To date, for most of our competitions, we’ve had to clear out a prior year’s nominations from the system before we can open the next edition. The new system will store and make available to you all of your past nominations (submitted through the new platform).

5. Effortless Category Selection and Search 🔍

The new system includes a convenient “find-as-you-type” search feature for categories. Previously, entrants had to scroll through hundreds of options to locate the right one. Now, finding the right category for your achievement is quick and effortless.

 

6.  Billing and Payment Options that Give Entrants More Control and Convenience 💳

Our new platform will make it easier to find, modify, and pay your invoices, with more payment options.

For paying your entry fees, we now have advanced payment options, including a “pay later” option that will offer automatic reconciliation of invoices, and allows you to make edits to invoices. At checkout, you can choose how you'd like to pay, whether via card, bank account, bank transfer, Cash App Pay, Affirm, Klarna, pre-authorized debit, or Amazon Pay.

The option to choose to pay shipping fees will be completely integrated into the overall system as well.

7.  Fewer Technical Issues ⚠️

If you’ve recently had a problem logging into your entry or judging account, submitting nominations, or judging entries, you’ve experienced our former system’s growing unreliability. If you’ve been a longtime Stevie Awards participant, you may recall the occasional frustration of encountering 403 error messages when submitting nominations. (Thank you for your patience in putting up with the old system!)

These errors often occurred during high-traffic periods near final entry deadlines, after resetting a password, or even when certain symbols were included in a nomination. Now, entrants can submit nominations with confidence, without worrying about system errors or having to write them offline during down periods.

8. Mobile-Friendly Website 💻

We no longer have a separate mobile website, and the Stevie Awards site is fully mobile-friendly. Nominations can now be submitted from your mobile device or tablet if you choose. 

Join Us for a Live Workshop About Navigating the New Stevie Awards Platform 👇

Starting Thursday, October 23, we will be hosting regularly occurring live workshops to walk entrants through the ins and outs of the new system. Register Now to participate in the first workshop or click the button below.

While the new system is intuitive and user-friendly, we are striving to make this transition seamless for everyone, and these workshops are another opportunity to answer your questions as they arise.

We look forward to sharing the new Stevie Awards platform with you!

If you encounter a problem, please reach out to us at help@stevieawards.com, and we will help you accomplish what you need to do.
