We are proud to announce that Vimo has been recognized with four honors in the 2026 American Business Awards®, one of the nation’s premier business awards programs. These awards recognize excellence in customer service, technology, leadership, and social impact, and they reflect our continued commitment to helping government agencies better serve the people who rely on them. 

Leadership in Customer Service 

Our Vice President of Call Center Operations, Michael Daugherty, received a Silver Stevie® Award for Customer Service Executive of the Year. 

Over the past year, Michael led the expansion of Vimo’s Consumer Assistance Centers by 50 percent while supporting nearly one million consumer calls. His leadership helped strengthen workforce management, improve hiring and onboarding, and enhance the tools available to customer service representatives. The result is a more resilient operation that delivers compassionate, high-quality support during some of the most complex enrollment periods in recent history. 

A Win for Technology that Supports People 

Vimo also earned a Bronze Stevie® Award for Best Use of Technology in Customer Service. 

Our Consumer Assistance Centers combine innovative technology with knowledgeable, empathetic professionals who help consumers navigate important health coverage decisions. By equipping our teams with better tools and streamlined workflows, we are able to improve both customer experience and operational efficiency. 

A Team Effort 

The success of our Consumer Assistance Centers is built on the dedication of hundreds of individuals working together to serve consumers every day. 

That commitment was recognized with a Bronze Stevie® Award for Customer Service Team of the Year. Whether helping families enroll in coverage, answering complex eligibility questions, or supporting consumers through life-changing events, our teams consistently demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and expertise. 

Advancing Child Protection Through Partnership 

Innovation is about more than technology. It is about creating meaningful outcomes for the communities we serve. 

Vimo and the State of Iowa were honored with a Silver Stevie® Award for Achievement in Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) for Innovations in Child Protection. This recognition highlights the impact of strong public sector partnerships and reflects our shared commitment to modernizing technology that strengthens child welfare programs and improves outcomes for children and families. 

A Reflection of Our Mission 

More than 3,700 nominations were submitted for the 2026 American Business Awards, with more than 230 professionals participating in the judging process. 

At Vimo, recognition is never just about the awards themselves. It is about the people, partnerships, and purpose behind the work.  

They reflect our commitment to building technology that makes government services more accessible, supporting the dedicated people who deliver those services, and partnering with agencies to improve outcomes for millions of Americans.
