Search company Ask Jeeves has been awarded the Stevie award in the Best Business Turnaround category at The 2004 American Business Awards.
The firm beat off stiff competition from finalists including Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Covad Communications, My Family.com and Aerco International to take the award.
Steve Berkowitz, Ask Jeeves President and CEO, accepted the Stevie on behalf of Ask Jeeves, attributing the company's turnaround to the dedication, efforts and accomplishments of the entire Ask Jeeves staff.
"We are honoured to be recognized by the American Business Awards for turning the Company around," Mr Berkowitz said "We are now the seventh largest property on the Web with more than 39 million users. This award is a testament to both Ask Jeeves' achievement in the highly competitive and rapidly growing search engine market, and to our dedicated employees who are the reason for the turnaround. Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners."
The American Business Awards is the first national, all-encompassing business awards programme. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word "crowned," the awards were presented during ceremonies at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City on May 10th.

Over 800 nominations from companies of all sizes were submitted for consideration. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staff selected winners from among the finalists.
