Ernst & Young honours Quebec finalists for Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 |
Firm calls on all stakeholders to help entrepreneurs drive economy
MONTREAL, CANADA – July 7, 2011 - Entrepreneurs are poised to drive the next major wave of economic growth, but the wider community must do more to support these creative-minded innovators, Ernst & Young said today when revealing this year’s finalists for Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year®.
“Quebec needs entrepreneurial role models,” explains François Dufresne, Quebec Director of Entrepreneur Of The Year. “That’s why it’s essential that we highlight their success, and reward them. Paying tribute to entrepreneurs shows them that society appreciates their achievements. What’s more, successful entrepreneurs can inspire young Quebeckers and encourage them to go into business.”
“Vicken Kanadjian and Sanjay Bakshani were nominated last year. It’s quite an achievement just to be nominated” says Mark Stephens, Marketing Manager for Cesium Telecom Inc. “To make the short list this year is humbling considering people like Guy Laliberté and Dr Piyush Patel have been here before. Vicken and Sanjay are savvy leaders with a shared vision. Given the success this company has enjoyed from day one, it would have been very easy to over extend ourselves however, Vick and Sanjay are both prudent and strategic when it comes to Cesium’s growth strategy and are adapting and leading the way in the ever-changing telecom environment. By continuing to build a strong team around them that will drive that innovative mindset to the marketplace, they should enjoy success for many years to come.”
The Quebec winners will be announced at a banquet on October 6, and the overall winner will represent the region at the national banquet held in Toronto on
November 23.
