Aptive CEO Rachele Cooper is named Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 Mid-Atlantic Award winner.

The Entrepreneur of the Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Rachele Cooper was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.

“It is an incredible honor to be announced Entrepreneur of the Year, and I am humbled and grateful for this recognition,” said Aptive CEO, Rachele Cooper.  “I believe that this award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of my amazing team at Aptive. This award motivates me, and us, to continue pushing boundaries and making a positive impact.”

For nearly four decades, EY US has honored entrepreneurs whose ambition, courage and ingenuity have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries and made a positive impact on their communities. Since 1986, the Entrepreneur of the Year program has recognized more than 11,000 US executives.

As a Mid-Atlantic award winner, Rachele Cooper is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 National Awards. The National Award winners including the Entrepreneur of the Year National Overall Award winner will be announced in November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur of the Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur of the Year® Award in June 2024.
