Corporate Excellence Awards 2023 | 9 Issue 4 2023 13 Feb23633 Best Data Processing & Technology Platform 2023 – USA Knowledge Hub Media is a key player in the B2B advertising space, with core competencies in innovative advertising technology. Here’s a look at the work of this advanced company, and its President and CEO Paul Guenther, as it wins a title from Corporate Vision. Founded in 2009, Knowledge Hub Media began life as IT Knowledge Hub. Ever since its inception it has been a prominent player in the B2B advertising environment, with key skills in demand generation and content syndication. The company generates leads via assets such as white papers, webinars, and case studies. Its clients consist mainly of software and technology industry players, or advertising/media agencies working on their behalf. Most Knowledge Hub Media clients are promoting technology platforms and software solutions. Paul Guenther is President and CEO of the company. He has spoken with us to discuss the outset of his entrepreneurial journey, which for him started at Penn State University in 2002. He began here by determining he wanted to go to law school, and so decided to major in crime, law and justice. After graduating in Spring 2006, this is indeed what he did. Balancing his law school attendance with a part-time night school programme and also socialising with friends. This combination inevitably led to a lack of focus, and Paul feels he was not in all honesty ready to take on such challenges at the time. In retrospect, this may have actually been a blessing in disguise however, as it led to Paul’s decision to go back to study in 2008. This time around he did an MBA concentrated on marketing management at Wilmington University. During his course, Paul also began working on the project that was to eventually become Knowledge Hub Media. Once his MBA was completed, he turned his focus to the company fulltime. He worked tirelessly throughout most nights to get things off the ground covering everything from sales to marketing, accounting, and website development. Paul was very much a one-man-band in the early days, but he was thrilled to be able to take on his first employees over the next couple of years. By 2020, the business was up and running, and Paul had also achieved a doctorate in business administration. He has some sage advice about the most important qualities a business leader must possess. “Believe in yourself. Whether you think you can or think you can’t… Either way you’re going to end up being right about it. Always learn from your mistakes – and never repeat them. Don’t ever make the same mistake twice. Live in the now. When you think about it, the present is the only tense you can actually control. The past has already happened… And the future is basically just a goal… A projection for what you want to happen down the line. The present is actually happening right now.” Paul believes in business everything is about ownership and accountability. If things ever go poorly you must understand and admit your mistakes. Apologise and make sure moving forward things are changed. Conversely, when things go right it is important to give credit to the people who deserve it. Remember one person can’t do it all. It takes a confluence of amazing people with beautiful personalities to build and maintain a strong company. The company has great strengths in analytics, having seriously engaged in big data for a long time. It uses its Intent Datacloud to measure consumption of B2B across multiple channels. This tool can help enhance its customers experiences, something integral to the company. Knowledge Media Hub always puts its customers at the heart of what it’s doing, as they are the most important thing. Offering a great customer experience is its primary goal. Knowledge Hub Media have achieved many accolades over the years. It has made the Inc. 5000 list three years in a row and been honoured as an Entrepreneur 360 company in Entrepreneur Magazine. It has also been named as one of the most innovative advertising technology companies of 2020-2021 at the InterCon awards. Knowledge Hub Media is now able to add to its award-winning roster its latest award as Best Data Processing & Technology Platform 2023 – USA. It certainly is a company who, together with its CEO, is building robust influence and success right across the board.

Feb23668 For the Love of Coding Marvelution is the brain child of Mark Rekveld, a lover of coding whose hobby has gone above and beyond anything he could’ve dreamed of: an open source project that began with a desire to make his own life easier when it comes to Jira. Mark now shares his coding talent with the world through Marvelution, whether small development shop or large corporation, an endeavour that has now astonishingly been recognised within the Corporate Excellence Awards for the third year running. Bestowed with the title of Best Software Development Consultants 2023 - North Holland, we learn more about Marvelution in light of this extraordinary achievement. Jira is the number one project management tool relied on by teams in financial services, retail, software, high tech, automotive, non-profit, government, life sciences, and many more so they can plan, track, release, and support world-class software. Flexible, organised, and efficient, Jira is utilised by teams of two to 2,000 in companies of all sizes to make their daily working lives easier. This software has become so efficient due to the integration of Jenkins, developed by Mark Rekveld, to provide a free, easy, secure, and reliable way for Jira to connect to the user’s Jenkins server. With cloud access becoming an increasingly important way for businesses to work, the Jira-Jenkins integration has become a much-needed solution. Running behind the firewall with Jira Software Cloud or Jira Service Management Cloud, it enables users more visibility and context on every issue in Jira. IBM, Dell, Fujitsu, and EMSA are just a few big names out of 65,000 businesspeople and companies making the most of Mark’s next-level coding skills to enhance their Jira user experience. Marvelution is a project that stemmed from Mark’s love of coding and his own need for the Jira-Jenkins integration to work as efficiently as possible, describing it as a “hobby grown out of control”, and having quickly found that he wasn’t the only one who needed the software to be easier use. Although Marvelution was formally established in 2015, its origins date back to 2008 with the launch of Jira Hudson Integration, which grew rapidly, acquiring over 3,000 installations worldwide. Seven years later, Marvelution was formed as an open source umbrella project, going on to release what is now known as Jenkins Integration for Jira, and seeing incredible success. Since the beginning of this passion project, Mark’s core value has been to have fun, whether it’s in developing new features, fixing bugs, or helping customers to get the most out of the software. He’s still enjoying being a one-man band, and he says he’ll keep it this way as long as it is still fun. If the need for more staff arises, then he has companies in mind to chip in. Being open and honest is also crucial to Mark’s service offering, which involves never making any promises he can’t keep. He isn’t interested in what his competitors are doing, either, unless he feels it could be beneficial to his own customers, being devoted to their wants and needs. It is thanks to the help of his customers that Jenkins has got to where it today, continuously improving and thriving. This strong collaboration is what keeps his customers coming back time and time again. Looking ahead, Mark is focused on being agile, constantly adapting to his customers’ needs and moving with the flow instead of worrying too much about what the long-term looks like. This is what works for him, allowing him to continue turning his hobby into business and keep the goal of having fun alive.

“Customers value our assistance and strong custom design capabilities, based on an extensive understanding of the applications requiring such equipment. We’re dedicated to providing excellent, responsive service, offering custom design and manufacturing, rigorous QA and testing, and consistent top of class lead times in the industry.” The leadership team at RHM includes young engineers who are keeping the company proactive, innovative, and committed to providing the best dry equipment technology solutions for the industry. They are fully supported by talented senior electrical engineers who, with very significant experience in the power industry at different operational levels, are familiar with most of the solutions and designs used today by international utilities. Executive leadership includes experienced professionals with extensive international experience in business development and corporate best practices. And all these resources are fully utilised in a true familyowned organisation, led by Eric himself, valuing above all quality, consistency, and responsibility within a long-term vision. Guided by these traditional corporate values, RHM continuously innovates, producing a vibrant R&D culture within the company. “Ultimately, what RHM offers is best safety and reliability in maintenance-free and environmentally-friendly products – a significant value,” Eric elaborates, reiterating the firm’s unique selling points and key differentiators. “Our smaller operations are based on ‘rigorous flexibility’: we abide by best industry practices from communication to project management and operations, while High Voltage Innovator Based in Massachusetts, RHM International LLC (RHM) creates, develops, and manufactures high voltage, high quality products using its unique, innovative, and high-performance dry type insulation technologies. As the firm gains notable recognition in the Corporate Excellence Awards 2023, we speak to the firm’s Founder and President, Eric Euvrard to learn more about what makes RHM a true global pioneer that keeps innovating. Established in 2005 with proprietary technology and manufacturing roots dating back to 1988, family founded, owned, and managed, RHM International LLC is the originator of high and very high voltage dry technologies in the global power transmission industry. As ‘industry-firsts’ go, RHM is a true innovator within the sector. In the high and very high voltage range, it was the first to introduce totally dry type instrument transformers without any oil or gas, up to 600kV, dry type condenser graded transformer bushings, and cable accessories without any paper, while building-in monitoring functions that otherwise have been connected externally to such families of products. RHM is therefore a unique specialist of eliminating toxic or potentially hazardous electrical insulating media. It has invented, developed, and manufactures 100% of the products proposed. But RHM’s story actually started in the late 1980s when senior professionals in the transmission and distribution industry came up with the idea of a new approach to dry, high voltage insulation, something that would later become HV DryShield®. They developed it initially for wall bushings but quickly thought of a derived smart design for current transformers. Products started to be implemented in various environments in the early 90s, to the full satisfaction of customers. Consequently, as customer satisfaction was cemented, RHM International was created to develop international awareness and markets. RHM and its sister manufacturing company is a true family-owned corporation, and resulting from this ownership are safe, quick decisions and a flexibility that allows timely alignment to customers’ and stakeholders’ changing circumstances. Today, with more than 60,000 installations worldwide, the company has a proven track record of reliable, risk-free operations. Indeed, RHM’s dry, high voltage CTs and bushings are among the very safest, most reliable in the industry. As well as this, it is renowned for the outstanding and lasting performance of its products, whilst they are environmentally-friendly too. All products are manufactured both in the firm’s China and New Hampshire facilities and, with a US-based engineering and manufacturing team, RHM is committed to the highest quality and continuous, worry-free operation. All of the company’s proprietary instrument transformers, bushings, and cable terminals are built to last with the highest levels of safety, quality, and reliability. Impervious to moisture, these oil-free, gas-free power solutions stand up to harsh environments, are maintenance-free, explosion-free, and offer tremendous lifecycle value. RHM’s customers are typically large electrical power utilities, heavy industries, and OEM companies around the world who realise that for economic, safety, and environmental reasons, they need to upgrade older insulation-based equipment. Founder and President of the company, Eric Euvrard, tells us more about its ethos and core values. “Our raison d’etre is to procure a high value relationship to our customers, from initial communication to installed product,” he begins.
Corporate Excellence Awards 2023 | 15 Issue 8 2023 13 allowing flexible designs and approach to projects, thanks to our unique manufacturing processes and lean teams. We stay close to our customers throughout the whole process of defining, assisting, validating, and delivering the right product.” But it hasn’t always been plain sailing, and Eric tells us that the industry has experienced challenges over the last two years, struggling with disrupted supply chains, shipping hurdles, and changing tariffs, which were obviously passed on to companies such as RHM. Operating internationally from production to markets, RHM has also been facing uncertain delivery lead times and questions about procurement. However, its proactive approach to such obstacles has been shorter manufacturing lead times (thanks to its flexible processes) and an efficient shipping schedule. Furthermore, the firm manufactures inhouse most of the core components for its products, without the use of any sub-contractors. Thus, even though its internal manufacturing times were increasing, RHM still had the capabilities to deliver at a bestin-class level within this harsh and turbulent environment. “The power industry is not one industry,” Eric continues. “Each country has its usually geographically self-contained utilities, with their local histories and engineering culture. Each country today faces the new challenges of climate, digitisation, and new generations at a different pace and with different priorities. Each new company needs to understand the local needs and investment culture before providing a product. Proposing a real innovative product must be made with a long-haul mindset.” And this is where RHM comes into its own – With new and innovative products already on the horizon for the firm, some that are in the assessment phase as we speak, Eric is already looking to the future and foresees further integration of previously distinct functions in a single product, thanks to the company’s expertise in dry type insulation. This procures footprint reduction of stations and complex equipment assembly, while maintaining a high safety standard. “Old grids around the world have a need for replacement of the old oil insulated products installed as early as the 60s and 70s,” Eric states. “Here at RHM, we are in a good position to provide custom designed dry type replacement while upgrading safety and reliability.” Having recently gained notable recognition in the Corporate Excellence Awards, being named Most Innovative Power Grid Technology Firm 2023 - North America, it seems that the sky’s the limit for RHM International and its innovating mindset.
