Applications can now be made to participate in CEO Magazine’s 2016 Start-Up Executive of the Year Awards.
This is a fantastic opportunity for outstanding entrepreneurs to be recognised for their hard work and achievements over the past 12 months, in their respective industries. Now in its fifth year, the Executive of the Year Awards is one of the most important and prestigious annual events on the business calendar. The Awards themselves do not focus on a company’s success, as many do, rather the spotlight is on the success of individuals; namely senior executives such as CEOs, Managing Directors, CFOs, CIOs, Directors, and senior-level management.
The CEO Magazine is looking for people who have founded a company that has been established or incorporated within the past three years, with close or substantial connections within the Australian business community. With applications set to close on 30th June, it is important for candidates to submit their before they get sidetracked by the many demands of EOFY.
Last year’s winner of the Start-up Executive of the Year was Anurag Chakradhar, Founder and CEO of Blrt.
Entries can be submitted at www.executiveawards.com.au. The application deadline is 9am AEST, Thursday 30th June, 2016. Finalists will be announced on Thursday 18th August, 2016.
