OAK
BROOK, Ill., June 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY
US) today announced that Jennifer
Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Federal
Signal Corporation, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024
Midwest Award winner. Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent
competitive awards program for entrepreneurs and leaders of
high-growth companies.
Ms. Sherman was selected by an independent judging panel made up
of previous award winners, leading CEOs and other business leaders.
Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create
long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their
purpose and the demonstration of growth and substantial impact,
among other key indicators.
"I am honored to be included in this prestigious group of
business leaders. This award is a testament to the hard work and
dedication of our 4,500 employees, whose contributions over the
last several years have helped us to drive significant revenue
growth, increase stockholder value by over 450% and to transform
the Company into an organization that is well positioned for
long-term, sustainable growth," said Sherman.
As a Midwest award winner, Ms. Sherman is now eligible for
consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National
Awards. The National Award winners, including the Entrepreneur Of
The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in
November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation's most
prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will
then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year®
Award in June 2025.
Entrepreneur Of The Year recognizes many different types of
business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial
spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped
their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow
their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an
existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and
multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy
business model to fortify it for the future.
Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners become lifetime members
of a global, multi-industry community of entrepreneurs. They
receive exclusive, ongoing access to the experience, insight and
wisdom of program alumni and other ecosystem members in more than
60 countries — all supported by vast EY resources.
In addition to Entrepreneur Of The Year, EY US supports other
entrepreneurs through the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™(Winning
Women) program and the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN) to

entrepreneurs, respectively, with the resources, network and access
needed to unlock their full potential.
