Distinguished award celebrates visionary entrepreneurs who are building bolder futures
Prove Identity is thrilled to announce that Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has named our Founder & CEO Rodger Desai as a 2023 Entrepreneur Of The Year® NY Winner. 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.
Desai was selected by an independent panel of judges, who evaluated award candidates based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
"I'm honored to be selected as a finalist from an elite group of entrepreneurs," said Desai. "This distinction is a testament to the innovation and diligent work of the entire Prove team, which I am fortunate to be a part of. With so many talented team members, I am confident that Prove can continue to lead the consumer identity market, making it easier and safer for consumers to engage with the digital economy.”
Regional award winners will be announced on June 13th 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.
