VARIDESK® Founders CEO Jason McCann and Chairman Dan Flaherty Named EY 2017 U.S. Entrepreneurs Of The Year
Award Recognizes Innovative Leaders in Business and the Community
PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CEO Jason McCann and Chairman Dan Flaherty, co-founders of VARIDESK®, the global leader in active workspace solutions, were recognized as EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2017 winners in the Emerging category for the U.S. The award honors outstanding entrepreneurs at companies between two and five years old who demonstrate excellence in innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Winners were announced on Saturday, November 18, 2017, at the EY Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Springs, CA.
Having won the Emerging Consumer Products category for the Southwest region in June, VARIDESK's founders were again recognized for both their outstanding leadership and disruption they have caused in the antiquated office furniture industry.
"It is an honor to be recognized and celebrated among some of the best and most innovative companies in the country," said Jason McCann, CEO of VARIDESK. "It is amazing think that this journey started just 5 years ago because Dan had a pain in his back. With VARIDESK we have gone from back pains to growing pains and are now transforming the global office furniture industry. The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award is one of the greatest honors Dan and I have ever received."
"Even though our names are on the award, we give credit to our teams at VARIDESK and Gemmy – two vastly different companies that share a commitment to fostering new and innovative ideas."
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program, in its 31st year, now recognizes business leaders in more than 145 cities and 60 countries throughout the world. McCann and Flaherty were selected by an independent judging panel of fellow entrepreneurs and leading figures from the business, financial and academic communities around the United States.
