IRVINE, Calif., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntiant Corp., the recognized leader in low-power edge AI deployment, today announced that its CEO Kurt Busch has been named a 2025 Silver Stevie® Award winner for “Technology Executive of the Year” in the 23rd Annual American Business Awards®.
The American Business Awards are the premier business awards program in the United States. This year, more than 3,600 nominations were submitted across a broad range of categories from organizations of all sizes and industries. Winners were selected by a panel of more than 250 professionals worldwide.
“While I’m honored to receive the Silver Stevie Award, this recognition reflects the incredible work of the entire Syntiant team, as we continue to lead the shift toward device-centric AI,” said Busch. “By delivering full turnkey edge AI solutions, we’re helping customers bring low-power, advanced intelligence to millions of devices worldwide across consumer and industrial markets. With strong momentum from our Knowles Consumer MEMS Microphones acquisition and a clear path to an IPO, we’re just getting started in reshaping what’s possible in edge AI deployment.”
Busch was recognized for driving innovation and growth, leading Syntiant’s $150 million acquisition of Knowles Corporation’s (NYSE: KN) Consumer MEMS Microphones (CMM) business, expanding its global footprint and advancing the company’s turnkey edge AI solutions. Judges applauded his “bold” growth strategy, “clear and industry-defining” vision and the company’s “excellent track record” and strong business acumen.
“Organizations across the United States continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation,” said Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards. “The 2025 Stevie winners have helped drive that success through their innovation, persistence and hard work. We congratulate all of the winners in the 2025 ABAs and look forward to celebrating their achievements during our June 10 gala event in New York.”
