Adopt Technologies

Most Admired Company: 2020-2021

Top Arizona executive: Brett Helgeson, CEO and managing partner

What it does: Information technology company delivering cloud-based solutions and IT management, design and support to small and medium-sized businesses.

Admirable trait: Helgeson was recently recognized as one of the top 25 IT CEOs in the U.S. by IT Services Report, and the honor well-deserved. Helgeson strongly believes in and fosters an environment focused on open communication, constructive feedback, and sharing thoughts and ideas. He believes if team members are successful and happy, Adopt Technologies will be successful with its clients.

Leadership excellence: CEO and Managing Partner Brett Helgeson was recently recognized as one of the Top 25 IT CEOs in the U.S. by ITServices Report, and it is well-deserved. Brett strongly believes in and fosters an environment focused on open communication, constructive feedback, and sharing thoughts and ideas. He asks team members to always put themselves in the other party’s shoes, view things from the opposite perspective, and realize that the way somebody may be interacting with them could be tied to something completely unrelated to the current interaction, causing them to behave a certain way. Brett wants people to speak their minds, voice concerns, hold team members and leadership accountable – albeit conscientiously and respectfully – to help drive the organization and the people within it to be better.
