EY Announces Ed Sealing of Sealing Technologies, Inc., as an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Mid-Atlantic Award Finalist

Entrepreneur Of The Year celebrates ambitious entrepreneurs who are building bolder futures

COLUMBIA, MD. April 27 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Founder & CEO Ed Sealing of Sealing Technologies was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Mid-Atlantic 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.

Sealing was selected by an independent panel of judges. Entrepreneurs were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.

“As our society becomes more mobile and information-driven, the systems we rely on are more interconnected, thus increasing their risk exposure,” said Sealing. “To better combat these threats, SealingTech leverages both open-source and proprietary software to design and build near real-time sensors, analytics-based intrusion detection, and gap analysis to define security compliance that ensure our customers have situational awareness of the cyber domain.”

Regional award winners will be announced on Thursday, June 22, 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.

The Entrepreneur Of The Year program has recognized more than 11,000 entrepreneurs throughout the US since its inception in 1986, and it has grown to recognize business leaders across 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
