American Marconi Wireless News - Showpad Announces Winners of the Second Annual Excellence in Action Awards

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2026 / Showpad, the leading revenue effectiveness platform, announced today the winners of its second annual Excellence in Action Awards, recognizing customers and partners delivering standout results across revenue growth, AI-driven impact, field execution, and buyer engagement.

Narrowed from 67 applications and 1,700 votes via Showpad's community platform The Rev, this year's 11 winners were selected by a panel of five Showpad leaders across eight customer and three partner categories. Winners are being celebrated at Excellence in the Field, Showpad's executive workshop series, with events in New York, Chicago, London, and Düsseldorf running from October through January 2027.

"These award-winners aren't just adopting technology. They're changing how their organizations sell and win," said Andrea Cenko, VP of Global Customer Experience & Success at Showpad. "What stood out this year was the range - from an enablement team that operationalized AI across 1,200 sellers, to a five-year partner collaboration that strengthened field selling across 17 countries. These teams didn't wait for perfect conditions. They started with a real problem, built something their sellers wanted to use, and delivered proven results. That's what revenue effectiveness looks like in practice, and it's exactly what this awards program was created to spotlight."

The Excellence in Action Awards recognize organizations across industries including healthcare, manufacturing, consumer products, chemicals, and enterprise technology that have used Showpad to drive measurable commercial outcomes. The program expanded this year to include three partner categories and a People's Choice Award.

Winners include companies and subsidiaries of companies listed across four major global exchanges - the NYSE (Labcorp, Edwards Lifesciences, ExxonMobil, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Shaw), Nasdaq (Qualys and CooperVision), the London Stock Exchange (Luceco), and the SIX Swiss Exchange (Roche) - alongside privately held leaders and innovative Showpad partners.
