Corporate Essentials Founder & CEO Named Finalist in EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award for NJ
May 16, 2019
PARSIPPANY, NJ – Corporate Essentials Founder and CEO Judson Kleinman has been named a finalist in the Ernst & Young Global Limited (EY) Entrepreneur of the Year 2019 award for the state of NJ.
There are a total of 32 Garden State business owners that placed on the list.
“I’m truly honored to be among the incredible group of finalists for this award,” said Kleinman. “It’s an award that focuses on the true entrepreneurial spirit in us all.”
The award winners will be announced on June 20 in New Brunswick, NJ at the Entrepreneur of the Year New Jersey Awards gala.
Kleinman’s entrepreneurial success was previously highlighted last year in August when Corporate Essentials earned a spot in the Inc. 5000 Hall of Fame as a 7-Time Inc. 5000 Honoree. The annual award recognizes the fastest-growing, privately-held companies in the U.S. At the time, only two percent of companies were ranked seven times on the list.
“While this is an honor that focuses on an individual, it would not be possible to be here without my amazing team,” said Kleinman. “It started with just three of us, and as we’ve grown, we’ve kept that family feel. I think that has been a key to our success.”
As of 2019, the Entrepreneur of the Year program by EY is in its 33rd year. Award winners of the NJ program will move on to the National Awards gala, which will be held in Palm Desert, CA from November 13-17.
