We’re thrilled to share a proud moment for Lexico: our Founder and CEO, Damani Short, has been named Entrepreneur of the Year at the 4th Annual Technology Leaders Awards and Gala, hosted by the Information Technology Senior Management Forum (ITSMF). This prestigious award recognizes leaders who exhibit exceptional vision, innovation, and influence in the technology sector. For us, it’s more than an accolade. It’s a testament to the transformative work we do for our clients and the positive impact we’re creating in our community.
Lexico’s Journey: Built on Expertise and Vision
During his 30-year career as a global executive serving organizations such as GE Healthcare, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Shutterfly, Damani identified a recurring challenge: large enterprises often falter in executing complex transformation initiatives. His success in driving change, marked by achievements like a 38% CAGR in a prior role and Lean/Six Sigma Master Blackbelt expertise, inspired a vision to bridge this gap. In 2017, Damani and his wife Cynthia, a digital and experience leader and serial entrepreneur, founded Lexico to deliver tailored solutions that empower enterprises to navigate change with confidence and achieve lasting results.
Today, Lexico partners with executives to solve problems like operational inefficiencies, technology integration, and strategic shifts. Serving industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and technology, we deliver tailored solutions that reduce risk and drive sustainable growth. Damani’s long-time leadership in ITSMF, where he champions mentorship, further shapes our mission to create lasting impact beyond business success.
