Alexandria, Va. – Yesterday, the Conexxus Board of Advisors announced this year’s inductees to its Technology Hall of Fame, naming Ann Seki (formerly of Chevron), and Ann Dozier (formerly of Coca-Cola) to the esteemed organization. The Technology Hall of Fame honors those individuals who have distinguished themselves by improving the profitability of the industry through advancement of technology and technology standards.

“Ann Seki and Ann Dozier were tireless volunteer-leaders in improving our industry’s ability to overcome two very different challenges,” said Conexxus Executive Director Gray Taylor.

Ann Seki joined Conexxus in 2009 and quickly created the Data Security Committee, which ultimately reduced data risk in the convenience and fuel retailing industry, changing PCI compliance rules for all small merchants. The Data Security Committee remains vibrant today, and is tackling the challenges of EMV and data security that lay ahead.

Ann Dozier is known as an early proponent of standards and DSD supply chain excellence. “Ann brought the expertise of the Coca-Cola Company to our organization and quickly developed a suite of electronic B2B document exchange standards that have greatly reduced supply chain costs in our industry,” said Margaret Akins of Pilot/Flying , chair of the Conexxus Board of Advisors. “Their commitment to advancing our industry is evident by their hardwork and enthusiasm, which inspired us all.”

The induction will be held at a special ceremony during the Conexxus Annual Conference in Annapolis, Maryland, on the evening of April 27. Technology executives gather at the Conexxus Annual Conference each year to further standards development, get cutting edge technology knowledge and collaborate with the best minds in our industry.
