The Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The award recognizes those who are unstoppable entrepreneurial leaders, excelling in talent management; degree of difficulty; financial performance; societal impact and building a values-based company; and originality, innovation and future plans.

Neil Bluhm, Greg Carlin and Richard Schwartz were selected by a panel of independent judges made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The Heartland Award winners were unveiled during the program’s virtual awards gala on Wednesday evening, July 28, 2021.

We pride ourselves on our ambition, ingenuity and customer-centered approach. To be recognized for our vision, while positioning our company for continued growth, makes me truly excited about the direction in which we are headed.”
