An Easy Way to Nominate Someone For Entrepreneur Of The Year

| SFBW Staff

If you know of someone that should be nominated for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year, today (March 11) is the deadline.

While you might think the nomination process is complicated, under one option all you have to do is submit the nominee’s contact information. Go to this page to find out more information and the application link: https://goo.gl/cmJ8NP.There’s also an option to provide more detailed information.

Three of the nine judges for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards in Florida are from South Florida. They are:

  • Susan Amat PhD, founder of Venture Hive in Miami
  • Mark Volchek, director and co-founder of Higher One Holdings Inc. and the founder of Las Olas Venture Capital in Fort Lauderdale
  • Naomi Whittel, CEO and founder of Reserveage Organics in Boca Raton

“The independent judging panel of accomplished individuals is what makes this award one of the most prestigious awards in business,” says Greg Rosica, EY’s Florida program partner.

South Florida finalists will be recognized at a May 25 reception and the statewide award recipients will be revealed on June 9 in Tampa. This is the 30th year of the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
