ViTrox Group CEO Chu Jenn Weng was named the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year (“EOY”) 2022 Malaysia among 13 top nominees vying for the title. Chu was also named the winner of the Master Entrepreneur category, the entrepreneur who has made a sustained contribution to the success of one or more businesses over an extended period.
As a representative of Malaysia, Chu competed for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year (“WEOY”) 2023 award on the global stage in Monte Carlo, Monaco, in June 2023. At the annual gathering of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, he connected with future-forward founders and CEOs and participated in workshops hosted by the most sought-after thought leaders.
EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year, organised by Ernst & Young (“EY”), is a global award program that recognises and honours visionary founders, CEOs and business leaders from around the world. This event is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of intrepid leaders whose vision and innovation are creating long-term value and building a better working world. A diverse panel of independent judges — entrepreneurs themselves — assessed the achievements of each competitor in the Class of 2023 against four (4) criteria: entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact.
Although one step away from the global award, Chu flew the Malaysian flag high and made the ViTrox team immensely proud at the WEOY 2023.
