Rallio Wins Best CEO Comparably Award Among Small and Mid-Size Businesses

IRVINE, Calif. - Dec. 11, 2018 - PRLog -- Rallio, the world's first social media and reputation management software platform built to serve multi-unit businesses and manufacturers, today announced that its CEO and co-founder, Chuck Goetschel, has been named a top-ranked CEO by Comparably.com.

Comparably Awards are based on sentiment ratings from employee participants who anonymously rate their employers. Following the year-long eligibility period that ended in November 2018, the best CEOs were identified based on approval ratings that employees gave their chief executives.

All questions were assigned a numerical score and then compared to companies of similar size across the United States. Additional weight was given to scores at companies with more participation from their employee base. The final data set was compiled from nearly 10 million ratings across 50,000 U.S. companies on Comparably.com.

Among small and mid-size companies — those with fewer than 500 employees — Goetschel earned a score of 99/100, placing Rallio in the top 5 percent of U.S. companies with 11 to 50 employees and in the top 5 percent of other companies in Los Angeles. "The most successful businesses are led by amazing CEOs who serve as a visionary, positive example and support system for their teams," said Jason Nazar, Comparably CEO. "The chief executives on Comparably's Best CEOs list were the highest rated by employees for their inspiring, transparent, and engaging leadership."

In response to earning the Best CEO distinction, Goetschel was quick to point to his team. "This award speaks volumes about the talented team and creative, inspiring culture we've created together at Rallio," said Goetschel, who is also an author and a speaker. "Just as we strive to provide the best products and services for our clientele, we are dedicated to building an elite workforce with a focus on innovation, teamwork, and a sense of purpose and ownership in our work."

Rallio, which recently rebranded with a new logo reflecting its mission of "rallying" around brands to help them build a local community, share experiences and drive local business through social media, is poised for rapid growth in 2018. Located in the heart of Orange County at the Irvine Spectrum, the profitable SaaS company more than doubled its staff headcount in the past year.

In September 2018, Rallio was named one of three top finalists (https://www.octanehta.com/finalists/) at the OCTANe High Tech Innovation Awards competition for Outstanding Emerging Technology. In addition, Rallio earned a spot (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/317782) in the inaugural ranking of Top Franchise Suppliers by Entrepreneur magazine. This ranking put Rallio in an elite position in its space as determined by Entrepreneur, identifying the companies that provide behind-the-scenes support for franchisors and their franchisees.

Rallio has an undisclosed number of investment dollars from various private venture capitalists and angel investors.
