Entrepreneur Of The Year Mid-Atlantic
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.
