Celebrating the 35th class of unstoppable entrepreneurs who transform Greater Philadelphia and beyond.
LINKBANK is excited to announce that Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has named CEO Andrew Samuel an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2021 Greater Philadelphia Award finalist.
Now in its 35th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program honors unstoppable business leaders whose ambition, ingenuity, and courage in the face of adversity help catapult us from the now to next and beyond.
Samuel was selected by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced during a special virtual celebration on July 27, 2021 and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world.
Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria; talent management; degree of difficulty; financial performance; societal impact and building a values-based company; and originality, innovation, and future plans. Since its launch, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
“It is an honor to represent LINKBANK among such an accomplished and impactful group of entrepreneurial individuals and organizations”, said Samuel, “Our entire team is energized by the opportunity we have to apply an innovative and relationship-driven approach to community banking in support of likeminded entrepreneurs.”
