MADISON, Wis., Aug. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ernst &
Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Rachel Neill of Carex Consulting Group was named
an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 Midwest 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. Rachel was selected
as one of 22 finalists from a competitive pool of nominations by a
panel of independent judges.
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.
"I'm thrilled and honored to be named a finalist. As a female
founder, I hope that I can show other women the power of
entrepreneurship." Says Neill.
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
