Ernst & Young Announces Charles Myers, President & CEO of Airgain, as Entrepreneur of The Year(R) 2017 San Diego in the Technology Category

DEL MAR, CA--(Marketwired - June 13, 2017) - Ernst & Young (EY) announced yesterday, June 12, that Charles ("Chuck") Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of embedded antenna technologies used to enable high performance wireless networking, has been selected as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2017 San Diego Region in the technology category. Winners were announced at the awards gala at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, California, with more than 500 founders, CEOs, and other business leaders in attendance.

After joining the company in 2011, Myers executed his strategy to transform Airgain into a high growth company and guided it to consistent profitability. He repositioned the company to target broader and faster growing market segments and created a productive work environment focused on delivering premier quality products and services. Airgain became public in August 2016, making it the first technology IPO out of San Diego in nearly two years.

"I'm extraordinarily humbled," Myers said. "When I was nominated for this, the thing that motivated me more than anything was my colleagues. It's about the team of people I work with, the company culture, and it's really about persistence. I'd like to thank EY, the organizers, the judges, and congratulate all of the other nominees and winners. I've known so many of them over the years and have always been in awe of their work."

Now in its 31st year, the awards program recognizes entrepreneurs in over 145 cities and 60 countries who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in their fields. Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the overall national award winner, will be announced at the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 18, 2017. The awards gala is the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation's most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
