These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, years of service, and the credentials they have provided in association with their Worldwide Branding membership.

Ms. Yerger has served as chief financial officer of Asponte Technology since she and her husband first established the company in 2008. Her husband worked at IBM for more than 10 years and reached the highest professional level he could without venturing out on his own. The pair eventually decided to combine Ms. Yerger's background in accounting and finance with Mr. Yerger's background in information technology to start their own successful business. Today, Asponte Technology is a technical consultancy focused on finding the best technical solutions to complex problems with exceptional levels of service. Offering services in WebSphere application server, WebSphere portal, IBM web content management and connections solutions, as well as Lotus web content manager, WebSphere J2EE applications, and Asponte WCM widgets, the company now empolys more than 20 software professionals and a handful of contractors. With an office in North Carolina and employees all over the country, Asponte Technology conducts work all over the United States for enterprise-sized companies, such as Pepsico, Inc., Staples, Inc. and Prudential Financial Inc.

Prior to working at Asponte Technology, Ms. Yerger worked for a public accounting firm performing audits and tax work. Her professional background and experiences have been instrumental in enabling her to provide services at Asponte Technology. Throughout the years, Mr. Yerger has become adept in all aspects of the business, including employment, taxation and international taxes, marketing, accounting and finance. As chief financial officer, her responsibilities include overseeing financial management of the company and its financial reporting and transparency, as well as multiple corporate functions, including controller, treasury, tax and long-range planning, analyzing the marketplace and shaping the company's strategies accordingly, acting as a corporate officer and the company's principal interface with the board of directors, ensuring financial disclosures and regulatory compliances are timely, transparent and efficient, budgeting, working with the board for strategic planning, investing, and maintaining cash flow management and risk communication.

In 2001, Ms. Yerger received a degree in accounting from the University of Tampa. She has also taken graduate courses at the University of South Florida. She attributes her success to leadership skills, as well as her dedicated employees, who are all highly skilled technicians who produce quality work. In the future, Ms. Yerger intends to continue growing and expanding Asponte Technology. She would like to see the company expand from the current 22 employees to 35 or 40 employees.
