We are incredibly proud to announce that our Chief Information & Technology Officer, Hanish Vithal, has been recognised in the 2021 CIO Top 100. The CIO 100 "celebrates technology and business leaders driving change at their organisations", and in this instance recognises the transformational vision, expert implementation, and successful delivery of SilverDoor's industry-leading technology by Hanish and his team.
Hanish has spearheaded multiple projects with the SilverDoor Technology team, and continues to play a crucial role in ensuring SilverDoor's systems remain the safest, most reliable and most compliant in the serviced accommodation sector. In 2019, thanks to Hanish's expert leadership, SilverDoor received accreditations in both ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, making us one of very few businesses in the sector to demonstrate compliance with a strict set of expert guidelines, as well as exceptional quality and information security across all our offices, processes and software systems. Hanish also played a key leadership role in the development of SilverDoor's Orbital One systems and Orbi technology - which continue to lead the way in serviced accommodation booking innovation - and has also developed SilverDoor's growing number of application integrations, which includes TRIPBAM and Conferma Pay.
Hanish said of the award:
"Reaching this level of recognition has been over a decade in the making; it feels incredibly rewarding to reach this proud moment so soon in my relatively young career. It is particularly humbling to be recognised in this light as part of an exclusive list featuring some true giants of the domain.
"The motto of my old school was, 'Tot Facienda Parum Factum', which means 'So much to do, so little done': I plan to continue in this same spirit in the years to come, pursuing knowledge, excellence and such notable recognition in my field."
