The 2023 Automation All-Stars Awards process
The quest for this year’s all-stars started in October, with nominations collected from IT professionals and leaders across multiple industries.
Each nomination included written submissions highlighting the nominees’ innovative initiatives, achievements, and qualities aligning them with the award category.
The selection process for the winners was rigorous, with an internal team at BetterCloud carefully evaluating each nominee’s contributions to their organization’s automation journey. After much deliberation, the winners have been chosen, and their stories are nothing short of inspiring.
Congratulations to this year’s Automation All-Stars!

The Trailblazing Titan: Chris Ritter from Global Payments
The Trailblazing Titan award goes to… Chris Ritter!
Chris has been proactive in finding ways to improve workflows and remove ANY human interaction for Global Payments with BetterCloud.
“
I am honored to be recognized with this award. I am always looking for the next problem to solve with workflows in Bettercloud. I tend to have ideas that are often just outside of the intended purpose for a feature which often results in submitting a feature request.
With branching, Bettercloud has expanded our workflow capabilities and solved for many of the problems that I had been using creative solutions to resolve. I haven’t done it alone though.
I work with a great team that helps each other think outside the box to solve complex problems. I couldn’t do what I do without them.”
The Rising Star: Jason Cosma from FIRST Agency Event Management, Inc.
The Rising Star award goes to… Jason Cosma!
With just two years under his belt at FIRST, Jason hit the ground running in implementing BetterCloud to save hundreds of hours a year for FIRST.
“
It’s an honor to be nominated for this award, by my boss, Peter Pinti. The award validates all the hard work and effort that was put into our automation to streamline the onboarding and offboarding process. Working for a purpose keeps me motivated on a daily basis.”
