EDHEC Entrepreneur of the Year award
The EDHEC Entrepreneur of the Year award is given in recognition of a top executive’s exceptional career and the performance of their company. It is awarded to an EDHEC graduate entrepreneur who, through their appetite for risk and perseverance, has contributed to the image of EDHEC as a creator of talent.
At the head of a company posting sales of at least €3 M or an equivalent KPI, their audacity, sense of innovation and unique vision of their profession make them stand out in their sector, region or country.
