EY Announces Daniel Pontecorvo of Camber Spine Technologies as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 Greater Philadelphia Award Finalist
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Daniel Pontecorvo of Camber Spine Technologies was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 Greater Philadelphia Award finalist. Now in its 34th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program honors entrepreneurial business leaders whose ambitions deliver innovation, growth and prosperity as they build and sustain successful businesses that transform our world.
Award winners will be announced through a special virtual event in early October and will join a lifelong community of esteemed Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. This year, unstoppable entrepreneurs who have provided extraordinary support for their communities, employees and others during the COVID-19 crisis will also be recognized for their courage, resilience and ingenuity.
Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria: overcoming adversity; financial performance; societal impact and commitment to building a values-based company; innovation; and talent management. Since its launch, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
“I am humbled to learn today of my nomination as a finalist for EY’s 2020 Philadelphia market Entrepreneur of the Year Program” said Daniel Pontecorvo. “Ten years ago, when I began assembling with my partners the building blocks that would be the foundation for an innovative medical devices company oriented around solving physician frustrations that produce better outcomes for patients, I had no certainty that ten years later, we would be where we are today as a recognized growing middle market life sciences enterprise in the exciting Philly metro life sciences corridor. Surrounded by and supported by not only my partners but also an extremely talented group of people, I accept this nomination with profound thanks to our people, customers and stakeholders who have helped Camber Spine to grow to where we are today and will help us get to next.”
