1st90 wins Supplier of Excellence award from Palo Alto Networks

1st90, an Advantage Performance Group thought leader partner whose innovative mobile learning platform helps professionals activate new skills and habits, has earned distinction as the People Team Supplier of Excellence for Palo Alto Networks.

A multinational cybersecurity company based in Santa Clara, California, the organization recognized 1st90 as the top provider among all of those contributing to its human resources development at an annual supplier appreciation event on March 4.

“Being recognized as a strategic partner and winning the Supplier of Excellence award is the highest compliment for our team," said 1st90 CEO Paul Middleton. "Our ultimate goal with all clients is to help them win and deliver results.  Receiving this reward helps validate the journey we are on as we aspire to deliver impact with learning in the flow of work.”

"Advantage proudly celebrates this accolade in support of our partners at 1st90. There is no higher achievement than recognition from within a client organization," said Jonathan Hodge, Advantage president and CEO. "Congratulations to Paul and his team!"

Palo Alto Networks described 1st90 as "an invaluable partner collaborating across the organization to design world-class learning experiences that drive performance and bring our values to life for our employees."

"The 1st90 team has consistently provided expertise to our teams, delivering innovative and truly disruptive solutions that continue to surprise and delight our learners," said Heidi Brandow,  vice president of global learning & talent development. "From onboarding to sales kickoff, leadership, and strategy learning solutions, you differentiate yourselves as true partners rather than mere vendors or suppliers."

"We choose to work with 1st90 because of their ability to deliver exceptional results in a manner that exemplifies our Palo Alto Networks values," she said.

This is the second recent major award for 1st90. In December, 1st90 shared a 2020 Brandon Hall Silver Award for Best Advance in Mobile Learning Technology with Advantage Performance Group and SAP SE.
