The leaders of about 20 Virginia-based companies are mid-Atlantic finalists for EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
The program recognizes entrepreneurs excelling in areas such as innovation, financial performance and commitment to their businesses and communities. Award winners, selected by a panel of independent judges, will be announced at a June 15 gala at The Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Corner.
The majority of the Virginia-based companies hail from Northern Virginia, and some of them are online firms.
Among leaders from that region is Rami Essaid, cofounder and CEO of Distil Networks, which has its corporate headquarters in Arlington. According to EY, Distil Networks is a global leader in bot detection and mitigation.
