Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has announced that Evan Pohaski, Founder and CEO of JLE Industries, the fastest-growing Flatbed freight solutions provider in North America, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year^®2022 East Central Award finalist.

Pohaski was selected by a panel of independent judges according to the following criteria – entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact – among other core contributions and attributes.

“Building JLE Industries into the disruptive platform it represents today has been an extraordinary journey, and we are honored by EY’s recognition of our accomplishments.

The regional finalists will be recognized, and winners will be announced at the East Central awards celebration on June 16, 2022 at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA. The regional winners will then be considered by the National independent judging panel 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 2023.
