THP named winner of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2017
THP and CEO, Amanda Riva, won the award for Young Entrepreneur at the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2017 Ontario awards gala hosted on October 24th, 2017. This year EY named 40 finalists across 10 categories in its Ontario awards program, of which 10 would be named winners. Riva was selected as this year’s winner by the independent panel of judges. The Young Entrepreneur category recognizes entrepreneurs who are under 30 and who dare to take risks, dive into uncertainty and overcome challenges with innovative solutions.
The theme of this year’s competition was dare, and the competition across all categories represented exceptionally talented entrepreneurs who all dared themselves to dream big. Riva addressed the topic of dare in her acceptance speech saying, “I’m so appreciative of my incredible team who dares to believe in not just myself but our desire to truly revolutionize the marketing industry.”
The topic of team and shared vision was a common thread from all the winners. The passion, dedication and daring approach they take to business is felt throughout their teams.
Amanda is the second generation of her family to take home an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award. Riva said, “this is an incredible honour to be recognized among such talented and fast-growth finalists and by such a prestigious institution.”
