JUNO President and CEO: New Members of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year (R) Hall of Fame

 DR and Nonette Teodoro Inducted into an Elite Circle of Corporate America; Attends the Oscars of Business 

Being inducted into a hall of fame once is enough to prove that a person has accomplished a lot. Imagine what it means if the same person is inducted into more than one, and of a different league! One thing’s for sure: it signifies the individual’s superb competence and extraordinary ability to get things done.  To snag two grand recognitions is an astounding feat attained by very few, but this is what JUNO’s President, Dante Raul “DR” Teodoro and JUNO CEO, Nonette “NT” Teodoro achieved last week during the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year ® Awards.

Dubbed as the Oscars of business awards, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year ® Award is the most prestigious recognition a businessperson can receive. Entrepreneurs like Michael Dell and Howard Schultz (founder of Starbucks) were bestowed the accolade in years past. These movers and shakers of business receive the honor for their breakthrough efforts and ability to thrive in any market environment. The awards are for those who have not only seen great potential and opportunity, but have also realized and maximized the said elements and produced an enterprise of great value. Awardees become part of an exclusive group of champions, strictly for the best of the best. And JUNO’s top management officially belongs to this breed of corporate leaders.

NATIONAL NOMINEES

As recipients of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award ® for Staffing Services in the Metro New York region, DR and NT were made nominees for the overall national award. The Executives’ refreshing approach to healthcare staffing and persistent efforts to provide a better way for healthcare professionals to get a job in the US brought JUNO to record-breaking heights. As founders of one of the most successful healthcare staffing agencies today, the well-deserved regional prize they accepted led to an invitation to the most elite business gathering in America.

Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Hall of Fame

Having become regional winners, DR and NT were inducted to the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Hall of Fame, described as “an elite corps of men and women who have been recognized for their exceptional entrepreneurial achievements.” The title is given to “outstanding entrepreneurs for their vision, innovation, courage, and leadership in building and growing successful businesses—businesses that influence the way we live, the products and services we depend on, and the economic vibrancy of our local communities and global markets.” This will be the second hall of fame induction for JUNO Founder, Dante Raul Teodoro, who, in 2007, became part of the Chicago Filipino-American Hall of Fame for his humanitarian efforts.

The Ernst & Young Hall of Fame is reserved for the crème de la crème of business achievers. Some recognizable names in the roster are: Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, Google Founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Yahoo!  Founders, David Filo and Jerry Yang, eBay Founder, Pierre Omidyar, and Amazon.com Founder, Jeff Bezos. Tom Adams of the language-learning software company, Rosetta Stone, was the Overall Winner of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Award for 2009.

CHALLENGED TO DO GREATER THINGS

During a meeting with the staff members of JUNO Healthcare in New York, DR said that he and NT are challenged by what they witnessed in the ceremonies. Hobnobbing with some of the biggest names in business, they feel that now is the time for JUNO to be in a class of industrial giants. Fired up to take the company to greater heights, DR and NT is funneling the inspiration and energy derived from the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum ®, the event preceding the awarding ceremony, to visionary moves for 2010.

For a resilient management team committed to seeing their company overcome every bout in the industry, the awards they have received this year is a confirmation of their adherence to standards of excellence. As they say, a man’s true character arises in times of crises. It is when the world sees the substance (or lack of it) in his life. In the midst of difficulty, the leaders of JUNO, Dante Raul and Nonette Teodoro proved their unwavering commitment to maximizing opportunities and being the best they can be in what they do.
