David Moreno, Chief Marketing Officer of Europe’s Virtualware, has been nominated for the Raising Star Award at this year’s CMO Awards.

The CMO Awards, established in 2013, is the first and only CMO awards program designed and driven by an elite group of peers. The CMO Awards celebrate the marketing industry’s best and brightest leaders.

Moreno is in charge of conceptualizing and leading the execution of the company’s marketing, digital communications, and public relations. His work has allowed Virtualware to be known as one of the world’s leading Virtual Reality companies, especially among those doing B2B and industrial work purely.

“It is a dream to have been nominated for such an honor. The fact that the CMO of a tech Spanish company can be acknowledged as an industry leader, next to such important company names, is more than recognition to David and Virtualware. It is a recognition for all of us at Virtualware”, said Unai Extremo, CEO of the company.
