The Entrepreneur Of The Year awards program, now in its 37^th year, is one of the most prestigious business awards in the world for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.

Bresman was selected by an independent judging panel composed of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors, and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.

“At Semperis, our workforce across every department is part of a bigger mission to be a force for good by helping our communities and society at large to fight back against the impact of cyber-criminals and other malicious activity,” said Bresman. “Being a force for good is fundamental to our mission, and we back it up every day by supporting organizations, especially in the critical infrastructure sectors such as healthcare, to recover from cyberattacks. Receiving this award is a deeply humbling experience and wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and hard work of the team here at Semperis. Core to our culture is the overwhelming purpose to help whenever we can, customer or not. This tenet has been instrumental in driving our growth and success.”
