ONTARIO, CANADA - The fearless leaders driving forward innovation within the industry is always something to celebrate, especially when one of our own is honored. Bert Mucci, Chief Executive Officer of Mucci Farms, was recently named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year® 2021 National Award Winner.
“I’m shocked and honored to make it this far. I want to thank E and Y, the selection committee, and all the nominees for this wonderful experience. It’s been a pleasure to be mentioned amongst such talented leaders from across the country. I always say that we have the best team and talent in the industry, so for me, this is truly a recognition of everyone at Mucci Farms without whom this would not be possible,” Bert shared with ANUK.
Hundreds of applicants from across Canada were nominated for the program. Regional winners from each province were named earlier this year—Bert was one of seven for the province of Ontario.
35 total winners were named and were then grouped into 10 categories. A winner was selected from each, creating a Top 10 lineup. Bert Mucci won the “Vision” category, making him a Top 10 National Award Winner.
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year is a prestigious business awards program for entrepreneurs, representing those visionary leaders who deliver innovation, growth, and prosperity.
