Celebrating the unstoppable entrepreneurs whose ambitions transform our world
New York, NY, September 29, 2020 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Steven R. O’Hanlon, Chief Executive Officer and President of Numerix was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 New York Award finalist. Now in its 34th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program honors entrepreneurial business leaders whose ambitions deliver innovation, growth and prosperity as they build and sustain successful businesses that transform our world. O’Hanlon was selected as one of the finalists by a panel of independent judges comprising former winners and business leaders from multiple industries.
Award winners will be announced through a special virtual event in early October and will join a lifelong community of esteemed Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. This year, unstoppable entrepreneurs who have provided extraordinary support for their communities, employees and others during the COVID-19 crisis will also be recognized for their courage, resilience and ingenuity.
Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria, including overcoming adversity; financial performance; societal impact and commitment to building a values-based company; innovation; and talent management. Since its launch, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
Steven R. O’Hanlon, Chief Executive Officer and President of Numerix comments: “This year has been unlike any other. Despite being faced with unprecedented challenges, I like many others, chose to take this time to re-focus and evolve personally and professionally. With 30-years of experience building emerging fintech start-up companies, I’m proud of what we’ve done at Numerix to change for the better, and of the decisions we’ve made to capture the greatest opportunities for growth. Now more than ever I am grateful and humbled by the incredible platform I have been given to share my experiences with the leaders, change makers and entrepreneurs of today, and tomorrow.”
Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, to be announced in November during a virtual awards gala. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2021.
