CHICAGO, IL, April 9, 2026 – Aeris, a global leader in cellular management platforms, security services and connected vehicle programs, today announced that Robert Holley, Head of Channel, New Routes to Market, has been selected as a recipient of the inaugural Agents of Change Award from Tech4Change.
The Agents of Change Award recognize leaders who use their influence to uplift others and demonstrate a real commitment to creating access, opportunity, and momentum within the technology industry. Holley was nominated and thoughtfully reviewed by the Tech4Change Board, who chose him for work that reflects leadership with purpose and a commitment to moving the community forward in meaningful ways.
As a veteran of the United States Army with more than 20 years of leadership experience, Holley leads the Aeris strategy for helping partners transition from fragmented legacy systems to integrated, secure Internet of Things (IoT) and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions. His leadership was instrumental in the 2025 launch of the expanded Aeris Partner Program, which unified channel sales partners, service providers, and technology alliances into a single global ecosystem.
“On behalf of the Tech4Change Board, congratulations,” said Ronnell Richards, Board Member and Chair of the Marketing Committee for Tech4Change. “While impact is frequently discussed, Robert has consistently exemplified meaningful results through his actions. He embodies the qualities this award is meant to honor: purposeful leadership and a genuine dedication to providing opportunities for those who deserve recognition and support.”
“I am honored to be selected as a recipient of the inaugural Tech4Change Agents of Change Award,” said Robert Holley. “Creating change is never a solo act. It takes community, collaboration, and a commitment to opening doors for others. It is an honor to be acknowledged with fellow recipients who are striving to have an influence and open doors within our industry.”
Holley will receive public recognition as an Agents of Change Award honoree at the Tech4Change fundraising and networking events taking place in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 12. Tech4Change is a nonprofit organization that has raised more than $1 million for grassroots charities through its events.
