Innovator of the Year: Phoenix Business Journal ACE Awards

The Phoenix Business Journal will honor the top revenue-generating and fastest-growing businesses in the Valley during the 30th annual Arizona Corporate Excellence (ACE) awards.

The largest private companies in Arizona generate billions of dollars in revenue per year and employ more than 40,000 employees in the state — and thousands more worldwide.

In addition to honoring the largest private companies ranked by annual revenue and the fastest-growing companies ranked by percentage of revenue growth, not-for-profit companies will be recognized based on annual revenue.

Specialty awards will be presented including Rookie of the Year, Community Impact Award, CEO of the Year and Innovator of the Year.

The ACE Awards will be held on Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. at Warehouse215 in Phoenix. The event includes a plated dinner and open bar. Register for tickets here. Sponsors include UMB Financial Corp., USI, Vaco and Bakertilly.
