Kitchener, 8 September 2022 - Uvaro, a career services company specializing in tech sales training, has been named a Top 10 Growth Company for 2022” by CIX.

Founders Joseph Fung, Donna Litt, and Derek Hall have set a new record as this is their third company selected as a CIX Top award winner. This year, Uvaro and the other finalists were selected out of nearly 500 submissions by 135+ industry judges.
We are excited and humbled by this honor,” says Joseph Fung, co-founder and CEO of Uvaro. "Uvaro was born from the idea that those looking for a career revamp shouldn’t sacrifice too much of their schedules. Flexibility and reliability were what was missing from training in our field, and we are truly proud to provide this much-needed service. We’re very excited about Uvaro’s future and the services we provide for our members."
