EY Announces Guru Hariharan of CommerceIQ as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Bay Area Award Finalist
01 Mayo 2024 - 12:09PM
Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Guru
Hariharan, CEO at CommerceIQ, was named an Entrepreneur Of The
Year® 2024 Bay Area Award finalist. Now in its 38th year,
Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent competitive business
award for audacious leaders who disrupt markets, revolutionize
sectors and have a transformational impact on lives. Over the past
four decades, the program has recognized the daring entrepreneurs
with big ideas and bold actions that reshape our world.
Guru Hariharan was one of 26 regional entrepreneurs
from 24 companies selected as finalists by an independent panel of
judges. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration
of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit,
purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and
attributes.
"This recognition reflects our team's dedication to
pioneering innovative, AI-driven solutions that significantly
enhance ecommerce performance for top global brands,” said
Hariharan. “Our platform optimizes operations across more than 850
retailers, powering companies like Bayer, Whirlpool, and Nestle to
achieve their market potential.”
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors many different
types of business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and
entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders
who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised
outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who
infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its
trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who
reimagined a legacy business model to fortify it for the
future.
Regional award winners will be announced on June
14, 2024 during a special celebration and will become lifetime
members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni
from around the world. The winners will then be considered by the
National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards,
which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth
Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of
high-growth, market-leading companies.
In addition to Entrepreneur Of The Year, EY US
supports other entrepreneurs through the EY Entrepreneurial Winning
Women™ program and the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network to help
connect women founders and Black and Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs,
respectively, with the resources, network and access needed to
unlock their full potential.
