HOUSTON, Texas– June 22, 2021 – Mattress Firm today announced Jonathan Sider, Chief Information Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Ecommerce at Mattress Firm was recognized by Constellation Research on its 2022 Business Transformation 150, an elite list of executives leading business transformation efforts around the globe.

Digital leaders have been greatly challenged this year by a perfect storm of disruptions due to COVID-19, generational shifts in the workforce, a hypercompetitive new customer experience landscape, and the relentless march of exponential digital change, among other factors. The BT150 nomination process took these influences to heart this year to make sure the list genuinely reflects today’s world and leading trends.

Jonathan Sider joined the company in 2014 as the Vice President of IT and subsequently served as the SVP of Strategy before stepping into his current role. Sider has more than 19 years of experience in the mattress industry and 24 years in technology. In his role as Chief Information Officer, Sider oversees technology for the Company, including enterprise resource planning, web and e-commerce, database, IT infrastructure and warehouse management across all 2,400 stores, 60 distribution centers and the corporate office.

Prior to joining Mattress Firm, Sider held several leadership positions for Sleep Experts including VP of Operations, VP of Real Estate and the Chief Information Officer. In 2018, Sider was named an Enterprise Finalist in the Houston CIO of the Year ORBIE Awards by the Houston CIO Leadership Association and maned Enterprise Winner in 2020. Sider has a B.S. in Applied Arts & Sciences and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A&M University – Commerce.

“It is an honor to be recognized as a BT150 winner. COVID-19 certainly presented challenges for our primarily brick and mortar business style; but with challenges comes opportunity.” Said Jonathan Sider, CIO at Mattress Firm. “We were able to expand our e-commerce presence significantly through 2020 and I could not be prouder of my team. While I am receiving this award, it would not have been possible without such a great team.”

“Recognition as a BT150 winner has emerged as a differentiator in recruiting as forward-thinking organizations recognize that BT150 winners are some of the most sought after and battle tested executives in the market”, proclaimed R “Ray” Wang, founder and CEO at Constellation Research. “The pandemic created tremendous opportunities for technology and business leaders to kickoff and turbo charge their transformation projects. Many of this year’s BT150 winners have created new business models, launched new offerings, and found their way into the C-suite.”

“In curating the next generation of Business Transformation 150 executives from our network, we emphasized those who are successfully navigating the historic challenges of the last year, while still effectively guiding their organizations to transform and evolve,” said Constellation Research’s VP and Principal Analyst, Dion Hinchcliffe. “I am excited to help them tell their stories to the world over the next year as we share from these leading lights in the digital world the many innovative ways they lifted their organizations up and propelled them into the future. I’m very proud of this year’s highly diverse group of BT150 inductees.”
