DALLAS, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Skybox Datacenters CEO Rob Morris is a finalist for Ernst & Young LLP's (EY US) prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 Southwest Award, the organization has announced. Now in its 40th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world's most ground-breaking companies, revolutionizing industries and making a profound impact on communities.
Morris, co-founder of the prominent hyperscale data center developer, owner and operator, is among the CEOs and founders representing 42 companies chosen for their entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and lasting impact in building long-term value.
"We're honored to be recognized alongside such a remarkable group of innovators," said Morris, of Texas-based Skybox Datacenters. "Data centers are the backbone of our digital economy and we're proud to drive the development and infrastructure that enable them. As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, we remain focused on building what's next—together with our clients, communities, and industry partners."
Skybox is ranked among the top 10 data center developers in North America. Morris has 16 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction with a unique focus in high performance computing for machine learning and core computing.
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit.
