KG Charles-Harris’s Summary
Co-founder and CEO of EMANIO, KG Charles-Harris is a prominent international entrepreneur and spirited advocate for improving the way people work and connect through technology. Guided by this vision, Charles-Harris has led the charge to give small and mid-sized businesses access to the same process automation and business intelligence tools once limited to Fortune 100 companies.
Charles-Harris moved EMANIO from Norway to California in 2000 and positioned it to transform the world of EDI, data integration and business intelligence for small businesses.
In 2000, Charles-Harris’ achievements were recognized on a global scale, as he received the United Nations Global Young Entrepreneur Award at the UN’s 7th World Summit of Young Entrepreneurs.
