Widely considered one of the most prestigious business awards programs in the U.S., the program recognizes entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are excelling in areas such as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities, while also transforming our world. Van de Maele was selected as a finalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on June 20.
