This award recognizes which of the nation’s top business leaders, demonstrate an ability to innovate, grow, nurture and maintain highly successful and reputable corporations.
Ernst & Young has honored Scott Gostyla as one of Florida’s top e-services entrepreneur, after he guided Hydrogen Media through national and international expansion, and successfully moved his Florida-based corporation into a position of industry leadership in 2000.
The ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award follows a number of awards and national recognitions for Hydrogen Media. Earlier, Phillip’s PR News honored the company with the Platinum PR Award for Best Internal Communications worldwide. Also, the editors of Smart Reseller Magazine named Hydrogen Media as one of the world’s ‘Smart 100 companies’.
A company design for ArvidaRealty.com earned three top honors, including the 1999 World’s Best Web Site Gold Award at the World’s Best Developers competition in London. The company’s designs for Colliers Arnold and Colliers International Realty earned a ‘Silver Mouse’ award for Internet excellence–and the Advertising Federation honored Hydrogen Media with three prestigious 2000 Addy Awards.
“This is a tremendous personal honor, but this award ultimately belongs to all of the people who make up our company,” says Hydrogen Media CEO, Mr. Scott Gostyla. “Without the hard work and dedication of all of our skilled professionals, there would be nothing for me or our business to celebrate.”
Gostyla began his entrepreneurial career by developing and marketing inventions ranging from sunglass designs to a personal watercraft flotation device. He founded Hydrogen Media after selling a computer hardware company he had formed and governed from 1992-1996.
