Plume Achieves Outstanding Recognition with Three Gold Stevie® Awards

Plume Design, Inc. has garnered significant acclaim by clinching three prestigious Gold Stevie® Awards. This acknowledgment represents the pinnacle of recognition in the third annual Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. Notably, Plume has been chosen as the Domain Specific AI Platform of the Year in the Telecom sector and the New Product of the Year for its innovative platform. Additionally, CEO Dan Herscovici has been honored as the Executive of the Year in Communication Technology.

A Celebration of Innovation

On July 30, 2026, in Palo Alto, California, Plume announced this triumph, a testament to its reputation as a global technology platform relied upon by over 450 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) across 58 nations. Dan Herscovici, the CEO of Plume, expressed immense pride in the accomplishments, stating, "Winning three Gold Stevie Awards is a great validation of the strategy, products, and team we've been building at Plume."

The recognition from an independent panel consisting of over 180 industry judges serves to validate the hard work of Plume's dedicated global team, dedicated to providing ISPs and their subscribers with cutting-edge AI solutions. Herscovici continued, "We set out to build the most intelligent, open platform in telecom; one that gives service providers the AI-driven tools to understand their networks and their customers."

Pioneering a New Era in Telecommunications

The Plume Platform stands apart as it has continually redefined the capabilities of ISP technology. It utilizes more than a decade of machine learning derived from real-world home networks, allowing it to manage approximately 600 million connected devices across 50 million homes. This operational intelligence is unmatched in the telecom sector, distinguishing the Plume Platform as an industry leader.

Moreover, Plume's platform is the only open, vendor-agnostic, carrier-grade Agentic AI orchestration offering purposefully designed for use in ISP operations. It autonomously monitors network conditions, identifies issues, and resolves subscriber problems seamlessly. This versatility empowers service providers to transform their operational metrics—reducing churn, lowering costs, and enhancing service quality.

The Influence of Leadership

Under the leadership of Dan Herscovici, who became CEO in April 2025, Plume has experienced a significant transformation. Herscovici has fostered a culture oriented towards customer satisfaction and innovation while steering a strategic vision that transcends transactional relationships. His leadership approach equips ISPs with the capabilities to evolve into true relationship managers for connected homes.

Alan Coleman, the Chief Product Officer of Plume and co-founder of Sweepr, reflects on this transformational journey, sharing, "When I brought Sweepr to Plume, I had no shortage of options, but I chose Plume because of the platform being built here, grounded in over a decade of real-world network intelligence."

Coleman further emphasized how the substantial achievements at Plume validate the platform's strengthening under Herscovici’s leadership. The awards are not only accolades but also affirm the strategic direction and innovation ethos inherent at Plume.

Looking to the Future

With the 2026 Stevie Awards celebration set for October 28 at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse in France, Plume looks forward to a night of distinction alongside other awardees across various sectors. This event is poised to honor groundbreaking contributions to technology from organizations worldwide.

As Plume continues to make advancements in the tech landscape, it remains committed to utilizing AI to shape the future of ISP operations and better serve subscribers. These Golden Stevie Awards signify just the beginning, as Herscovici notes, "We’re just getting started."
