HOUSTON (June 26, 2015) – EY announced that CEO Brad Childers of Exterran has received the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2015 “Transformational CEO” Award for the Gulf Coast Area. The award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Leaders are nominated by external third parties, and Childers was selected by an independent panel of judges.
“I’m most proud of what this means for our company and for our employees, who have worked so hard to make Exterran an industry leader,” Childers said. “They have set the stage for us to build on and accelerate the progress we have made in recent years, and it is a privilege and an honor to accept this award on their behalf.”
Now in its 29th year, the program has honored the inspirational leadership of such entrepreneurs as Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee Company, Pierre Omidyar of eBay, Inc., and Mindy Grossman of HSN. Recent U.S. national winners include Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn; Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Chobani; and 2014 winner Dr. David Hung, President and CEO and Chairman of Medivation.
As a Gulf Coast Area award winner, Childers is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 national program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced on November 14, 2015. The awards are the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
