PacStar announced on Thursday that the company’s chief executive officer Peggy Miller has won the Gold Stevie Award in the Executive of the Year – Business Products category in the 16th annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.

“It is fantastic to see Peggy Miller receive this award as recognition of her leadership and ability to inspire the PacStar team to new heights of product innovation, customer service excellence, and success,” said George Stroemple, PacStar Chairman. 

Under her leadership, the PacStar team has won eight major U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program of record deals, building in multi-millions of dollars in sustainable revenue for years to come. 

PacStar’s revenue exceeded $100 million in 2018, which was an increase of over 50 percent. The  company’s growth continues to be strong based on sales of the company’s proprietary hardware and software.

“We’re looking forward to more great things as she and the outstanding team that she has built continue to deliver excellence in the years ahead,” Stroemple added. 

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as one of the world’s premier business awards.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards were presented to winners on Friday night during an awards event attended by more than 550 people at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The event was broadcast via Livestream.
