Learning Champion DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) JUNE 29, 2016

The Founder and CEO of Prositions Frank Russell has been awarded the Learning Champion Award for his exceptional contributions to the learning industry. The award takes into account over 30 years of Frank’s innovation and entrepreneurism in the learning and development industry. His most notable accomplishments include:

Leading the modern trend for virtual mentoring with a full-featured software application
Creating one of the first SaaS/Cloud-based learning management systems
Guiding the video training content industry from an analog to a digital model
Shifting the way training content is aggregated, distributed, and consumed

“I have known Frank for a long time,” reflects Lloyd Singer, serial entrepreneur in the learning industry. “He is an incredible leader and entrepreneur who has always had a keen intuition about where the learning industry is headed. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him, and even competing at times, on some of these major industry transformations. His ability to help shape the future of the industry has been remarkable.”

Frank is an influential business and technology leader, visionary advisor, and true innovator of the learning industry. Since 1985 he has founded three companies in the learning industry. Since the inception of his first company, his goal has been to create and provide transformational learning technology and services to organizations. Frank has also served as the president and board member of several training media associations. Currently as the CEO of Prositions, Frank is impacting the mentoring industry and revolutionizing the way organizations develop and engage their talent.

“Research shows that formal training alone is not delivering the results human resource development professionals demand today,” explained Robin Salsberry, President of Prositions. “The key is to reinforce training with effective mentoring via technology. I’ve enjoyed working with Frank in two of his companies and can honestly say his drive to create disruptive change in the market has been an inspiration to us all.”

Prometheus Finalist DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 29, 2016

Prositions, Inc. has been selected as a finalist for Small to Medium Technology Company of the Year for the 11th Annual LWBJ Prometheus Awards by the Technology Association of Iowa (TAI). In 2013, Prositions won the Prometheus Award for Startup Company of the Year. The Prometheus Awards are designed to recognize organizations and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the technology and software industries. Prositions has been a strong supporter of TAI and an active participant in programs, like HyperStream, that encourage aspiring students to seek technology career opportunities in Iowa.

“We are very pleased and honored to be included on the Prometheus finalist list this year,” said Frank Russell, CEO and founder of Prositions. “Our senior programmers have mentored and coached HyperStream student interns as we developed new features for our latest software application. MentorString, solves some of the toughest problems organizations are having today with talent engagement and retention,” he continued. “Organizations are spending an incredible amount of money recruiting and onboarding new employees. If that high potential talent leaves within a few months or a year, the cost to the organization can be significant. Our software helps protect that investment by powerfully engaging employees from day one. Giving students an opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology, like MentorString, is a win-win for our company and the industry.”

Frank Russell has also been named a Prometheus Award finalist for CEO of the Year. Mr. Russell has been recognized numerous times as a serial entrepreneur and technology pioneer.

“Frank is a thought leader and innovator in the human resources and technology industries,” expressed Robin Salsberry, President of Prositions. “He not only motivates and inspires his team, but Frank challenges all of us to accomplish more than we ever thought possible. Many of us have worked in his former companies and some have even gone on to create their own successful startups or become leaders in other high-growth organizations. He’s a one person incubator and accelerator!”

The Prometheus Award winners will be announced on Thursday, April 14th.
