 KeyLogic President/CEO Jon Hammock – Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year

KeyLogic President/CEO Jon Hammock has been recognized as the 2009 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia region.

An independent judging panel of regional business, academic, and community leaders selected this exceptional group of entrepreneurs. Finalists were judged on such criteria as growth, financial performance, innovativeness, future plans, community involvement, and corporate culture. A gala event was held on June 19, 2009 at Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, PA to reveal the winners.

The program has expanded to recognize business leaders in 50 countries throughout the world. Awards are given to entrepreneurs who demonstrate extraordinary success in the areas of innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.

“This is a prestigious honor and I am very excited to be recognized by Ernst & Young among such a talented group of individuals and I am proud to share it with all KeyLogic employees,” Mr. Hammock says proudly.

With family, friends, and members of the KeyLogic team in attendance showing their support, Mr. Hammock was recognized in the Technology category and will travel to Palm Springs, CA this Fall to compete for the national award. These awards are the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. The event will be hosted by Jay Leno and will feature the largest gathering of entrepreneurs in America.
