Los Angeles, CA – Mark Douglas, President & CEO of advertising software company, SteelHouse, has been named the 2016 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year for the Emerging category of Greater Los Angeles. In its 30th year, the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program is the world’s most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs, recognizing those who exhibit excellence and remarkable success in areas such as innovation, financial performance, and commitment to their business and communities.
The award recognizes Douglas for propelling SteelHouse’s exponential growth and his commitment to creating a work culture that prioritizes balance and enrichment beyond mere expansion. Last year, the advertising software company tripled its revenue announcing a $130MM revenue run rate for 2016, making it the fastest growing company in advertising.
“Through my experience at several large companies, I knew online advertising was broken – online ads were boring and marketers had to settle on not knowing where their budget was going. I knew I could change the very way ads were built, and that I could find a way to increase the velocity without sacrificing creativity,” said Douglas. “Being recognized by Ernst and Young for this prestigious award is such an honor that I share with the entire SteelHouse team.”
