Why was Gil Matzliah of NoviSign Nominated?
According to NoviSign, the recognition reflects more than 15 years of Matzliah’s leadership and a consistent vision: make powerful digital signage technology simpler, more accessible and easier for organizations and partners.
Since founding NoviSign in 2011, Matzliah has focused on removing barriers to digital signage adoption by making powerful technology accessible to technical and non-technical users alike.
Per the company, this philosophy has guided NoviSign from its early adoption of Android, cloud-based management and hardware-agnostic architecture to today’s AI-powered content creation, intelligent automation and integrations with emerging technologies.
What’s more, Matzliah’s partner-first approach has enabled resellers, AV integrators, and managed service providers around the world to build and grow digital signage businesses under their own brands.
The company states that Matzliah’s commitment to the wider industry was especially visible in 2026, when NoviSign hosted three international Partner Summits in Barcelona, Las Vegas and Tokyo, each bringing together around 100 partners, customers and industry experts, including executives from Sony, Amazon, BrightSign and other technology companies.
