Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has named Luke Hejl, CEO and co-founder of TimelyCare, the premier virtual health and well-being solution in higher education, an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Southwest Award finalist.
Now in its 37th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for transformative entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are building a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous world for all.
An independent panel of judges selected entrepreneurs based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
In November, Fort Worth Inc. honored Luke as 2022 Entrepreneur of Excellence in healthcare and life sciences. TimelyCare was recently recognized as the fastest growing private company in Fort Worth by Inc., the fastest growing technology company in North Texas by Tech Titans, the ninth-fastest growing health services company in the country on the Inc. 5000 list, and number one among healthcare companies on Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers list.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 24, during a special celebration. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual 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 EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2024.
