Hilliard, Ohio – Insource Spend Management Group today announced that President Brett Febus is an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2011 South Central Ohio & Kentucky Award finalist. According to Ernst & Young LLP, the awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Febus was selected as a finalist from nearly 100 nominations by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on June 30, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati.
Insource helps large companies benchmark their transportation, telecom and technology pricing agreements against the marketplace to identify areas of overspend and then renegotiate their vendor pricing agreements to eliminate overspend. Insource’s recent explosive growth is a product of the “New Normal” in business where any type of overspending is unacceptable. Febus commented, “It’s a new business world. Companies can no longer accept the overspending associated with A-minus or B-plus vendor agreements that result from traditional procurement methods and in-house personnel. With Insource’s knowledgebase of hundreds of vendor agreements, companies look to us to evaluate the market competitiveness of their vendor agreements, and fix any financial shortcomings in these agreements. If companies have less-than-perfect vendor agreements, Insource finds and fixes the problems.”
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Program celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 140 cities and more than 50 countries throughout the world.
Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur of the Year National Award. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur of the Year overall National Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 12, 2011. The awards are the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies, which will be held November 9–13, 2011.
Founded and produced by Ernst & Young LLP, the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards are pleased to have the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation as a national sponsor. In South Central Ohio & Kentucky, sponsors include Frost Brown Todd LLC, Thompson Hine LLC, Business Courier Cincinnati, Business First Columbus, Business First Louisville and The Eisen Agency.
