Twenty-four companies have been shortlisted across three categories – international, industry and emerging – for the coveted 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Mosley has been named a finalist in the emerging category, along with seven other entrepreneurs.
More than 115 entries were received, and the nominees have been interviewed by Ernst & Young, followed by a rigorous assessment by a panel of a dozen judges, which was chaired by telecoms entrepreneur and previous award recipient Denis O'Brien.
"Entrepreneurs play a vital role in economic development and act as invaluable role models for a new generation of entrepreneurs," said Enda Kelly, Ernst & Young Partner-in-Charge of the Program, when announcing this year's shortlist. "Our finalists confirm the pattern of previous years of vibrant entrepreneurship present right across the country. All display exceptional entrepreneurial vision, and it is important that we celebrate and recognize their achievement. Their creativity and risk-taking ability acts as the very foundation of our economic prosperity."
As co-founder and CEO of Globoforce, Mosley has been directing the path of Globoforce as the innovator in the strategic employee recognition industry since the company’s beginning. His vision to raise employee recognition from a tactical, unmeasured, and under-valued effort to a global strategic program with clear measures for performance and success is now being realized in some of the world’s largest and most complex organizations.
Globoforce gives today's forward-thinking companies the most advanced and robust online global employee recognition technology solution in the industry and is the only recognition provider that offers millions of locally relevant rewards to all participants across the globe through an innovative, multi-language, multi-currency platform. In 2006, the company posted a 65 percent increase in revenues over 2005; it posted an 85 percent increase in revenues in 2007 over 2006.
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award is part of a global recognition program to identify, acclaim and support entrepreneurs. The program is currently run in more than 40 countries, across six continents, and in 2008 more than 10,000 entrepreneurs worldwide will be nominated. The Irish program, now in its eleventh year, has been identified as one of the strongest worldwide.
The winner will be announced at a televised awards ceremony to be held at City West Hotel in Dublin on October 23. For more information, visit www.eoy.ie.
