HOUSTON, April 22, 2025 -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced the finalists for the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Gulf South Award. Now in its 40th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world's most ground-breaking companies, revolutionizing industries and making a profound impact on communities. The program honors bold entrepreneurs whose innovations shape the future and pave the way for a thriving economy and a hopeful tomorrow.
The Gulf South program celebrates entrepreneurs from Central and South Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
An independent panel of judges selected Danielle Wright for her entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and lasting impact in building long-term value.
"I'm incredibly honored to be named a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® Gulf South Award," said President & CEO of Right Choice Construction, Danielle Wright. "This recognition celebrates not just my journey, but the collective effort of an incredible team that believes in building with purpose. I'm grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside such visionary leaders and proud to represent the progress and potential of the commercial construction industry."
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to strengthen it for the future.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 12th during a special celebration in Houston and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. 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.
