Leading education technology company, Risepoint, has been recognized with two 2024 Best Place to Work Awards from Comparably, including Best CEO and Best Company Culture. Comparably Awards are based on sentiment feedback from current employees of 70,000 companies across the U.S. and Canada who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com during a 12-month period.
Fernando Bleichmar, Risepoint CEO and recipient of Comparably’s Best CEO Award, earned the honor through feedback directly from employees, placing him in the top 5% of CEOs at large companies. Bleichmar has led Risepoint since 2022.
In addition, Risepoint was awarded Best Company Culture for 2024, ranking in the top 10% of large companies. Comparably’s Company Culture recognition is awarded based on 16 culture metrics where employees can rate their employers on compensation, career growth, leadership, and work environment.
“We are grateful to Comparably for recognizing our incredible culture,” shared Bleichmar. “Although I am honored to earn a spot on the Best CEOs list, I am most proud of the company culture we have built and continue to foster at Risepoint.”
Earlier this year, Risepoint was also named to Comparably’s Best Company Work-Life Balance, Best Company Perks & Benefits, Happiest Employees, and Best Leadership Teams lists.
These awards are evidence of Risepoint and its leadership team’s commitment to allowing all employees to grow and develop in their own way, learning and caring for the wider community, and celebrating what makes each person unique.
