The award celebrates ambitious leaders for their innovative entrepreneurship, ability to test the limits of what is possible and commitment to building successful, dynamic businesses around the world.

“Among such inspiring visionaries and leaders in the Midwest, I am honored to be recognized as an EY Entrepreneur Of the Year. When I came to AZEK, I saw immense potential to grow the business and make a difference for our planet. Receiving this award affirms that,” Singh said.

“Although we have made tremendous progress,” Singh continued, “we believe there is so much opportunity ahead of us and are constantly striving to achieve more. We’ve been able to identify new opportunities to introduce sustainability into our supply chain, make beautiful products without compromise, and position the business for sustainable, long-term growth. All the while diverting hundreds of millions of pounds of waste and scrap from landfills and cultivating a purpose-driven culture. Recognition of this kind encourages us to continue to do better by our people, our products and our planet.”

In its 35th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders. Independent, regional panels of judges reviewed thousands of applications and named the 2021 regional finalists. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria: entrepreneurial leadership; talent management; degree of difficulty; financial performance; societal impact and building a values-based company; and originality, innovation and future plans. The award recognizes business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.

Regional award winners are also considered for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, announced in November.
