CEO of leading funding company joins ranks of exceptional entrepreneurs in San Diego
San Diego, CA (June 12, 2019) – EY today announced that CEO of Reliant Funding, Adam Stettner, is a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2019 Award in the San Diego region. Widely considered one of the most prestigious business awards programs in the U.S., the program recognizes entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are excelling in areas such as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities, while also transforming our world.
Stettner was selected as a finalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special black-tie gala event on June 6 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
“I’m honored to be a finalist for this award for the second time,” said Stettner. “Starting a lending company in the midst of the financial crisis was an uphill battle and humbling experience to say the least. Moments like this remind me that it was all worth it. I owe our customers and the Reliant Funding family for this recognition. Together, we built a great company.”
Now in its 33rd year, the program recognizes business leaders in more than 145 cities and more than 60 countries throughout the world.
