Simplus is thrilled to announce that Ryan Westwood, CEO of Simplus, has been recognized as an Entrepreneur Of The Year 2021 Utah Region Award winner! Ryan is among eight select winners in the region. The prestigious distinction comes from EY, which has been honoring top entrepreneurs for 35 years. The awards recognize the accomplishments of those entrepreneurs that drive company success, transform industries, and leave a positive mark on their communities through their compassion, ingenuity, and ambition.

As a winner, Ryan now joins an esteemed community of innovators, disruptors, and creators that spans industries and geographies. Previous winners of the Utah Region award include Erin Bradley of ZYIA Active, Jeremy Andrus of Traeger Grills, Stephan Jacob and Davis Smith of Cotopaxi, and Sandi Hendry of Minky Couture. The independent judging panel of the awards includes previous winners, leading CEOs, private equity and venture capital investors, and other business luminaries.

Ryan is also now eligible for consideration in the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2021 National Awards. Award winners will be announced in November at EY’s Strategic Growth Forum for high-growth, market-leading organizations.

Thank you, Ryan, for your insightful leadership and the culture you’ve created at Simplus!
