Chuck Canton Announced as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award Finalist

Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) recently announced that Chuck Canton of Sourcepass was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 New York Award finalist. Now in its 38th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent competitive business award for audacious leaders who disrupt markets, revolutionize sectors and have a transformational impact on lives. Over the past four decades, the program has recognized the daring entrepreneurs with big ideas and bold actions that reshape our world. 

Chuck Canton was one of 43 regional entrepreneurs selected as finalists by an independent panel of judges. 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 has been an honor to represent our amazing clients, partners, investors, and team members during this evaluation process. This recognition is extremely meaningful to myself and the broader Sourcepass team as our entire journey is predicated on fostering entrepreneurship and supporting our client's entrepreneurial missions. Thank you EY and the panel of judges for acknowledging all the amazing work the Sourcepass team has accomplished, “ said Chuck Canton, CEO of Sourcepass. 

"This year's finalists are bold entrepreneurs creating a lasting impression in their industries and communities," said Noelle Calautti, Entrepreneur Of The Year® New York Program Co-Director. "Selected by an independent panel of judges, these trailblazers demonstrate unwavering dedication to their companies, customers and communities. We are delighted to recognize their successes."  

Entrepreneur Of The Year honors many different types of business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to fortify it for the future. 

Regional award winners will be announced on June 18th during a special celebration and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
