Will Gruver was chosen by an independent panel of judges to represent USP&E as a finalist in the southwest area north region of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Program. Gruver, who is currently working in Sierra Leone, says he felt a surge of emotion and gratitude when he learned of the news.
“To be connected in any way to a firm as world-renowned as Ernst & Young is a tremendous honor,” says Gruver, who received the phone call while with clients and staff in West Africa.
In June, award recipients will be formally announced during a special gala at the Hyatt Regency Dallas Hotel. The Entrepreneur of the Year celebrates individuals building and leading successful, growing, and dynamic businesses. Ernst & Young recognizes these companies through regional, national, and global awards programs in more than 140 cities and in more than 50 nations. Entrepreneur of the Year candidates are both transitional and transformational. The program is in its 26th year.
