Our goal is to be a well-rounded organization, a place where people love to work and a business that people respect and want to partner with. While we think we have gotten good at meeting both, it is always nice to get recognition from a third-party.
Recently our CFO, Andrew Stohl, and CEO, Todd Beutel, were nominated for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. E&Y received over 1600 nominations from across the country, just to be considered or nominated for the list is quite the honor. E&Y wanted to know about how the Executives are leading Discovery in new and exciting ways. After a long application process discussing Discovery’s involvement in the community, new technology and anticipated business ventures we were excited to hear that Andrew and Todd have made it to the round of Semi-Finalists.

E&Y representatives visited the Discovery office to interview both Todd
and Andrew. The following week, the two attended the Semifinalist reception at
the Cherry Hills Country Club (allegedly where John Elway signed Peyton
Manning!). At the reception business leaders from the Denver metro area
cocktailed, conversed and networked. A highlight of the evening was sharing and
hearing stories from others nominated as Entrepreneur of the Year.
