The founder and CEO of bedgear has been named a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2015 Award in the New York region.
Eugene Alletto started bedgear, a supplier of pillows, sheets and mattress protectors, in 2009.
The EY awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in areas such as innovation, financial performance, leadership and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. The leaders nominated for the award are selected by an independent panel of judges.
“The heart of bedgear is the dedicated team of employees that have been committed to the company’s continued success and growth,” Alletto said. “It is truly an honor to be named a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award and I share this nomination with the bedgear team that works tirelessly to drive our business, develop our retail partnerships and diligently pursue our vision of providing only the best in performance sleep and recovery.”
Award recipients will be announced at a black tie awards gala June 16 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City, with a cocktail reception and silent auction for the USO at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.
