ATLANTA, June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US)
announced that CEO Bill Bailey Jr.,
of Radiance Technologies, Inc., was named an Entrepreneur Of The
Year® 2024 Southeast Award winner. Entrepreneur Of The
Year is the preeminent competitive awards program for entrepreneurs
and leaders of high-growth companies.
Bill Bailey 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.
"That trophy's got my name on it, but actually there's about a
thousand other people that should have their names on that trophy,
because I'm not the entrepreneur, they are," Mr. Bailey says. "They
show up every day and give all that they have and think of new ways
of doing business, and that's the reason we've grown from zero to
over a thousand in the time that we have."
Radiance Technologies, founded in 1999, is a 100% employee-owned
business providing technologies and operational capabilities in the
defense, intelligence, and civilian sectors. With 10 corporate
offices in eight states and over 20 customer project locations,
Radiance's expertise spans directed energy, modeling and
simulation, cyber operations, artificial intelligence, space
technologies, and more. Radiance operates with a focus on fostering
a collaborative environment where employees are motivated to share
in the company's growth and pursue cutting-edge technological
advancements.
As a Southeast award winner, Bill
Bailey is now eligible for consideration for the
Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National Awards. The National Award
winners 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.
