LOS ANGELES, April 3, 2017 – EY today announced last week that Rob Emrich, CEO of Gimbal, is a semifinalist for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2017 Greater Los Angeles Region Award.

Finalists will be announced Monday, May 8, and winners will be announced at a black-tie Awards Gala on Thursday, June 15, with more than 700 Founders, CEOs and other business leaders in attendance, at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
