Bill Reminder, Truck Hero CEO and president, was recently selected to receive the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2018 Michigan and Northwest Ohio award in consumer products. The award recognizes entrepreneurs who excel in areas such as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.

An independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders selected this group of bold entrepreneurial leaders, according to EY.

Since 1986, EY has honored entrepreneurs whose ingenuity, spirit of innovation and discipline have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries and made a positive impact on their communities.

As a Michigan and Northwest Ohio award winner, Reminder is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2018 National Awards. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on Nov. 10. The awards are the culminating event of the Strategic Growth Forum, a gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
