Thomas President & CEO Tony Uphoff Honored as Connectiv’s 2020 McAllister Top Fellow

New York - April 30, 2020 - Thomas President and CEO Tony Uphoff has been selected to be
inducted to Connectiv’s 2020 McAllister Top Fellowship program. The announcement was made
at Connectiv’s CES Deconstructed, a series of virtual sessions offering exclusive insights and
access to information industry leaders about adapting their field to the current COVID-19 crisis
and positioning their companies to grow post-pandemic.  

Uphoff presented this afternoon at the CES Deconstructed panel session ‘CEO Power Panel:
How Industry Leaders Are Planning for Their Companies to Not Just Survive but Thrive,’ sharing
details on Thomas’ evolution, steps the legacy company is taking to manage challenges brought
on by the current crisis, as well as the future of information media and the manufacturing
industrial sector. Thomas is the leader in product sourcing, supplier selection, and marketing
solutions for industry, delivering actionable information, data, analysis and tools that align with
and support today’s industrial buying process. 

Connectiv, a global business information association, awards the McAllister Editorial Fellowship
and the McAllister Top Management Fellowship each year to an editor and an executive who
promote the study of business media. Uphoff’s career in business information has given him a
ringside seat to every major technology transformation of the last 25 years, spearheading
successful digital transformations of several businesses, including Business.com,
InformationWeek, UBM TechWeb, VNU Media, and The Hollywood Reporter.

As part of the fellowship, Uphoff will mentor and advise faculty, graduate, and undergraduate
students at the Medill Magazine Project at Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism
about industry best practices, drawing upon his vast experience and knowledge gleaned
throughout his prestigious career. The residency will take place in early 2021.   

“I am honored to be selected as the 2020 McAllister Top Management Fellowship, and to have
the opportunity to help inspire and educate Medill scholars as we enter this new era,” said
Uphoff. “There has never been a time when technology and media have been so interconnected
and this will continue to impact the business media landscape. This is a great chance to learn
and explore a lot together.”
