EY Announces William Mascharka and Carlos Oliver of Frazier as Entrepreneur Of the Year® New Jersey Award Winners
Jersey City, NJ – June 12th, 2024 – It is with the utmost excitement that we announce Frazier’s William Mascharka, CEO and Carlos Oliver, President were named Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 New Jersey Award winners. Entrepreneur Of The Year is Ernst & Young LLP’s (EY US) preeminent competitive awards program for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.
Mascharka and Oliver were selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs and other business leaders. Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their purpose and the demonstration of growth and substantial impact, among other key indicators.
This year, Frazier celebrates 75 years of robust history, much of which has taken place under Mascharka and Oliver’s leadership. Frazier has grown into North America’s largest manufacturer of structural steel racking solutions for supply chain applications. The company is a multinational employer of over a thousand staff members, has been awarded dozens of patents, increased manufacturing capacity by millions of pounds per year and grossed thousands of new customers across fifteen plus major industry sectors. Customers continue to partner with Frazier year after year as a result of the tremendous value they gain across their business operations.
As New Jersey award winners, Mascharka and Oliver are now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National Awards. The National Award winners, including the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in November at the 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 World Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award in June 2025.
Entrepreneur Of The Year recognizes many different types of 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 fortify it for the future.
Frazier extends our congratulations to William, Carlos as well as all the other award winners and finalists.
