BATON ROUGE, La., April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Mo Vij, President & CEO of 365Labs, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Gulf South Award finalist. Now in its 37th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for transformative entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are building a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous world for all.
Mr. Vij has founded several successful companies and currently serves as President & CEO of 365Labs, the fastest-growing company in Public Safety.
Vij was selected by an independent panel of judges who evaluated entrepreneurs based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
“From the beginning, 365Labs has been driven by our purpose to create meaningful change with technology that empowers first responders and fosters trust between public safety agencies and communities,” Vij shared. “The work we do in Public Safety nationwide has also allowed us to affect positive change in our home state by creating high-tech job opportunities, mentoring students, and growing our region as a leader in the tech industry. It’s an honor to be recognized by the Entrepreneur Of The Year program for the impact we’re making.”
Regional award winners will be announced on June 15, during a special celebration. 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. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2024.
