low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living
products, including TimberTech® decking and Versatex® and AZEK

Award winner. Jesse was recognized by EY for his ability to imagine
the art of the possible, set a vision for the Company and empower
his team to innovate toward it. His ability to make innovation a
core pillar of AZEK’s business strategy has proven invaluable to
the Company’s growth, differentiation and success.
“I am honored to be recognized as a National EY Entrepreneur of
the Year alongside such inspiring leaders,” Singh said. “When I
came to AZEK, I saw its immense potential to go against the grain,
so to speak, and create beautiful, long-lasting products that also
make a tangible, positive impact on the planet. We pride ourselves
on asking one question every day: ‘how can we be better today than
yesterday?’, and this recognition encourages us to continue down
the path of innovation and continuous improvement.”
Over the past five years, Jesse’s entrepreneurial vision and
leadership has redefined how AZEK does business. As CEO, Jesse has
built a values-forward company that focuses on always doing the
right thing. The Company is leading the way when it comes to making
sustainability a core part of the business model, with a goal to
use one-billion pounds of scrap and waste – annually – by the end
of 2026. Staying true to the Company’s values, employees are
encouraged to pursue thoughtful experimentation that challenges the
status quo – and one another – to find the best possible
outcome.
