LINDON, UTAH, UNITED STATES, July 6, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced today that Jason McGowan, CEO and Co-Founder of Crumbl Cookies, was named a 2023 Entrepreneur Of The Year^® for the Mountain West region. The Entrepreneur Of The Year awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. McGowan 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.

“There were so many amazing entrepreneurs who were nominated and awarded. To be among the select group of honorees is an achievement I will always cherish,” said McGowan. “One thing that I have learned throughout my journey as an entrepreneur is that believing is at the center of it all. Today I am grateful for the Crumbl believers, including my business partner, my wife, our Franchise Partners, our corporate staff, our customers, and most of all the one who believed in me the most when I didn’t even believe in myself, my savior Jesus Christ. This win is for all the believers.”

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.
