Entrepreneur Of The Year US
Through the Entrepreneur Of The Year® program, we recognize and celebrate unstoppable entrepreneurs who redefine the way we live, work and play.
Here’s to the unstoppables transforming our world.
There are a lot of successful people in the world. But to build something truly remarkable, you can’t let anything stand in your way. And only a few leaders are part of this special group: the ones who never give up. Driven by their desire to better the world around them, they stop at nothing to achieve their greatest ambitions. They cut through the noise of this transformative age by breaking away from the pack — and then end up leading it.
Last month, we announced and honored our group of 2019 regional award winners across the US. These unstoppable leaders will now move on to compete on the national level. Brad Keywell began his ascent to EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2019 when he was named a regional and then national overall award winner in 2018. One of these regional winners could be next. Stay tuned to find out.

Regional programs
Each spring, the business community comes together to celebrate regional semifinalists, finalists and winners. These honorees not only create and build market-leading businesses, but also help take the standard of excellence to new heights, transform the face of the industry, create jobs and contribute to the vibrancy of communities.
