Akamai CTO and Co-founder Daniel Lewin Named to Enterprise Systems Power 100
CAMBRIDGE, MA - July 26, 2001 - Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM), the leading provider of distributed application and content delivery services, today announced that Akamai CTO and co-founder Daniel Lewin was recently named among the top ten individuals comprising the Enterprise Systems Power 100 - a list of industry leaders chosen for their effect on the IT landscape and their ability to influence the industry moving forward. Lewin was ranked among some of the world's top executives and visionaries, including Louis V. Gerstner, Steve Ballmer, and Linus Torvalds.
According to the article, appearing in Enterprise Systems' July 2001 issue, "Lewin has the power to determine his company's future in what will likely be one of the most fiercely competitive IT markets over the next two years - content delivery. While a down economy has made companies reluctant to take on the expense of innovative technologies, analysts still see a huge market for solutions that speed the transmission of data over the Internet. If Lewin continues to drive innovation at Akamai, the Cambridge, Mass.-based firm could be in position to reap the profits when demand starts to pick up in this space."
The Enterprise Systems Power 100 reflects the editors' picks for today's top IT leaders, who have the energy and ability to dramatically influence the lives of IT decision-makers. Akamai has revolutionized distributed application and content delivery through a series of integrated services layered upon its global network. Akamai attracts companies from around the world, and today over 80 percent of its total revenue comes from the enterprise market. Lewin's pioneering efforts in the content delivery space and the evolution of Akamai's technology have proved instrumental in transforming Internet infrastructure for enterprises.
