Gratitude for CTO Award Nomination

Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues, and Peers -

Recently I was nominated as a finalist for an award for the impact I have made in my role as Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Casepoint. Regardless of whether I am selected, it is a true honor to even be nominated and it gave me a chance to reflect on how I got here. I felt a great deal of gratitude toward the many blessings and fortune I have that has enabled my success.

This fortune is not material wealth but rather the loving and caring set of family, friends, and colleagues in my life who have been a positive influence, unwavering supporters, and who have put their faith and belief in me throughout my life journey.

While the list of people I have gratitude for is endless, there are a few in particular that I wanted to highlight:

My parents - their love, work ethic, and wisdom serve as the foundation of who I am today.

My wife Jigna and my children Arya and Shaunak. Jigna, in particular, has always stood by my side throughout this journey. There was a time in Casepoint’s early days where I had to spend time away from her and the kids for months and months at a time to really get Casepoint off the ground. Jigna truly amazing life partner and focused all her energy into caring for the kids, her and my parents, and my larger family being the rock on good days and especially the tough ones.

My dear older brother Vipul and my sister-in-law Hetal. They have supported me each step of the way and do so today. Vipul and I created Casepoint together and so without him and Hetal’s support, I would not be here.

My partners. Vipul and I did not build Casepoint alone. We had the strength, wisdom, and brotherly love of Haresh and Paresh and their families. Their support and positive influence in our lives is too great to count.

My Casepoint family. Without your dedication and hard work, faith in what we are trying to do, and spirit, Casepoint would not be the company it is today.

My friends and colleagues. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement.

There are no words that can truly describe the depth of my gratitude I have - so for now I will just say from the bottom of my heart: Thank You.

In your service,

Vishal Rajpara
