PEARLAND, TX, May 1, 2024 – Ernst & Young LLP announced that Jared Boudreaux, President and Managing Director of Vector Controls and Automation Group, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year ® 2024 Gulf South Award finalist. The Gulf South program celebrates entrepreneurs from Central and South Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. 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.
Boudreaux was one of the regional entrepreneurs 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.
“I am honored to be recognized as a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year for the Gulf South Region,” said Jared Boudreaux. “With the challenges of our times and the complexities of the industries we serve, it is a privilege to work with our talented and dedicated team of professionals who strive for excellence every day. The EY program’s spotlight on vision, leadership, and accomplishment underscores its profound significance, and I am sincerely honored to be included in this esteemed group of finalists.”
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 13, 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.
