EY announced that Rob Donat, founder & CEO of GPS Insight, is a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 Award in the Mountain Desert region. The awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Mr. Donat was selected for the second consecutive year as a finalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on June 25, 2015 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
GPS Insight was founded with the desire to meet customer needs through innovative solutions. Back in 2004, when Mr. Donat was a technology consultant working with a local trucking company, he saw a gap in the GPS fleet tracking market as an opportunity and created GPS Insight as the first highly customizable GPS fleet tracking software for fleets. Today, GPS Insight is a trusted provider of award-winning fleet-tracking solutions. Despite its significant growth over the last 10 years, with Mr. Donat’s vision and leadership, GPS Insight remains focused on innovation in the name of client success.
Robert states, “I am honored and appreciative of EY choosing me as a Finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award. This program has given me a chance to meet impressive fellow entrepreneurs and talented EY employees, and I am glad to be able to participate again this year as a Finalist. Best of luck to all of the finalists, and thank you to EY for the recognition.”
Now in its 29th year, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in more than 60 countries throughout the world.
Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on Nov. 14, 2015. The awards are the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
