Realizing your business’ potential is your job. Celebrating how well you do it is ours. The winners of this award have demonstrated success and growth by leveraging computer-related technology in their business.

DaVinci, Columbus, Edison, Gates—names synonymous with innovation and discovery—are just a Efew of the countless entrepreneurs who have made a difference in the world. Entrepreneurs see the possibilities for change and make it happen. They are the visionaries, the risk-takers, the people who so believe in their dreams that they refuse to be denied. Eighteen years ago we created the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® awards as a way to identify, honor, and support these outstanding business leaders. Today the awards program includes 35 regions across the U.S. and more than 3,500 annual nominations, and it will continue to grow as we approach our 20th anniversary in 2006. Through the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur Of The Year awards, now in its fifth year, 35 countries around the globe have programs to recognize these extraordinary individuals. Entrepreneurs create the businesses, products, services, and, perhaps most important, the jobs that keep our economy strong. And they do it with imagination, determination, and a lot of hard work. Ernst & Young is proud to recognize and honor the accomplishments of the people who help make this country great—people like Wayne Huizenga. In the early ’60s Huizenga was driving a garbage truck—and a beat-up one at that—with one route. No one would have guessed that he would grow that business into the largest waste disposal company in the world. A “serial” entrepreneur, Huizenga was also the driving force behind such winning brands as Blockbuster Video, AutoNation, and Extended Stay America. Along the way, he created tens of thousands of jobs, and has readily given back to his community, including $1 million to help victims of the recent hurricanes in Florida. The following pages include more of Wayne Huizenga’s inspiring story, as well as those of this year’s Entrepreneur Of The Year national category winners and finalists. These exemplary men and women serve as role models for what anyone can do—if he or she follows a dream and is determined to make it into a reality. Sincerely, Christopher L.

    FALL 2002 Ernst &Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2002 Jeno F. Paulucci, Luigino’s, Inc. Seeing Beyond the Risks f you look closely at what is at the heart of most successes, you’re likely to find someone with an idea—to do something new, to do something better, Ito do something differently—and the determination to make it work. In business, these visionaries are called entrepreneurs. They are the back- bone of our country, building strong, innovative, and dynamic businesses that provide jobs, grow our communities, strengthen our economy, and improve the world. Entrepreneurs are ordinary people who achieve extraordinary things, and their efforts inspire others to do the same. That’s why 16 years ago we established the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® awards. It’s our way of recognizing the men and women who make the economy vibrant. Today, through the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur Of The Year® awards—now in its third year—countries worldwide identify, salute, and support these outstanding individuals. One of them is Jeno Paulucci, the 2002 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year. From his very first venture—an Italian-American selling chow mein in the Scandinavian enclave of Minnesota—Paulucci has time and again defied convention and stereotype. In a 67-year career that’s still going strong, Paulucci has built more than 50 companies, including four multimillion-dollar food companies, and has become a trailblazer in the frozen food industry. The following pages contain more of Jeno Paulucci’s inspiring story, as well as those of this year’s Entrepreneur Of The Year national category winners and finalists.
