Letter from the Team
Now in its 37th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year® is the ultimate global competition for transformative entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are building a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous world. Throughout the program’s history, more than 11,000 entrepreneurs have been recognized across the US, and it has grown to celebrate business leaders in over 60 countries around the world.
This year we shine a spotlight on 36 outstanding Entrepreneur Of The Year Greater Los Angeles finalists, who were selected by an independent panel of judges based on their demonstration of long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes. Each has demonstrated ambition and a passion for innovation as they reimagine their respective industries and reinvent our future economy.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 22, 2023, at The Beverly Hills Hotel. These winners will be considered for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, the country’s most prestigious gathering of CEOs, high-growth entrepreneurs and C-suite executives representing global market leaders and professional investment fund managers. The overall National winner will then move on to represent the US at the World Entrepreneur Of The Year® competition in June 2024.
The success of the program relies on the efforts of our independent panel of judges. The panel comprises past Entrepreneur Of The Year Award recipients and civic and community leaders who devote significant effort to review and deliberate the merits of each nominee.
We also would like to thank this year’s sponsors. Our Presenting sponsors are PNC Bank, SAP America and the Kauffman Foundation. In Greater Los Angeles, regional Platinum sponsors include Cresa, Edelman, Marsh and Tangram Interiors, and regional Gold sponsors include Big Picture, Cooley, C-Suite Media and Los Angeles Business Journal.
Congratulations again to our amazing finalists this year; we applaud your bold ambitions!
Sincerely,
Scott A. Porter, Bridget Ahern,
