PASADENA, CA, June 30, 2023 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Jon Elliott, CEO of Bluebeam, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Greater Los Angeles Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Elliott was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
“It is an incredible honor to be named as a winner of EY’s Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Award for the Greater Los Angeles region,” said Elliott. “Hearing my name called while sitting at the awards ceremony surrounded by so many talented entrepreneurs from the Los Angeles area was deeply humbling. I was excited to celebrate the moment alongside my family as well as many of the amazing Bluebeam employees who co-create the company’s success each day. An award that promotes entrepreneurialism from a place of purpose while inspiring growth and impact in our world aligns perfectly to the values of Bluebeam. It is truly the entrepreneurial spirit of our employees as they persist in fierce dedication to innovating on behalf of our customers that makes Bluebeam such a special place.”
