07 Apr Our CEO Has Been Named A Governor’s ImPAct Awards Finalist
Coyl Recognized For Creativity, Innovation, Managerial Ability, Leadership & Turnaround.
Our President and CEO, Sam Coyl, has been named a finalist for the third annual Governor’s ImPAct Awards for creating jobs that pay and for his contributions to economic impact within the commonwealth. Awards will be presented at a ceremony at the Hershey Lodge on May 21.
Coyl was nominated for the Governor’s ImPAct Awards because he demonstrates a determination, vision and leadership befitting not only his Marine Corps brotherhood, but which are required for all successful entrepreneurs.
He has proven to be a catalyst for Eastern PA’s developing entrepreneurial culture (thanks to his founding of the Netrepid Virtual Incubator), and he eagerly gives back to the community which has supported his start as a business owner through his involvement with regional Startup Weekend events.
Last year, Coyl was also recognized for his entrepreneurial contributions to the Keystone State by the Philadelphia District of the SBA as Eastern PA’s Veteran-Owned Business Person of the Year and by the Central Penn Business Journal as one of 2014’s 40 Under 40.
