Last Wednesday our Chief Technical Officer to Drinksin, David Murray-Hundley won European Business Leader of the Year 2010 at LinkedIn’s European Business Awards. The award designed to celebrate a business leader who has created an outstanding workplace based on a set of values that has led to a commited, effective and motivated workforce.

When I caught up with David this morning over coffee, I asked his feelings on the award, “Obviously very happy to have won the award and also so thankful to everyone who supported me. I still find it all crazy and still think I am no different to anyone else. Been an exciting year so far at Drinksin and the next 6 months will be a crucial window for us. We are shortly looking forward to launching our mobile application, as well as the World cup around the corner and of course I along with the rest of England am looking forward to us winning!

Drinksin is also growing as a company and we are currently looking for a new CEO and further funding of the business. Going to be a busy year for the team but know we can do it.”

Drinksin’s Technical award was judged and presented by PY Gerbeau, the ex Chief Executive of the Dome, VP of Disneyland Paris and current CEO of X Leisure. Reid Hoffman the chairman of LinkedIn, and ex Vice President of Paypal and Apple. Reid Hoffman also serves on the board of SixPart, Kiva and Mozilla. James Campanini the Managing Director of Cisco Webex and Cisco Systems Ltd.

PY Gerbeau in his announcement speech mentioned “the difference with David is his approach as a team player and his thinking out the box mentality. He has been quoted by a supporter as an inspired perfectionist. He’s not only trying to achieve things in business but to make a difference to people”.
