Xcelience CEO & President Named Finalist in Entrepreneur of The Year 2015 Awards
Xcelience’s Derek Hennecke has been named a finalist in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 Florida Awards. Mr. Hennecke was selected from more than 70 nominations by a panel of independent judges. The prestigious, international award program recognizes “high-growth entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.”
“It’s an incredible honor to be chosen as a finalist in this prestigious race,” said Derek Hennecke, CEO and President of Xcelience. “As part of the race to develop drugs to fight cancer and so many other debilitating diseases, we have the ultimate motivation to innovate. Lives depend on us. We routinely tackle projects others say are impossible – whether it’s going global or building a new facility on spec. We are determined to make drug development faster, more efficient, and more economical.”
The EY Entrepreneur of the Year is a highly competitive award, judged by an independent panel using a precise due diligence process. The Florida regional award winner will be announced at a black-tie gala event on June 11, 2015 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. The winner will compete for the coveted title of national EY Entrepreneur Of The Year in November. Later in the year, a global winner will be chosen from among 145 cities and 60 countries.
Florida has participated in this global award since 1986, and many Florida winners have gone on to win at the national level. The last time a Florida winner took the national awards was 2005.
