On June 17, Saatva<\/a> Founder and CEO Ron Rudzin<\/a> attended the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year\u00ae 2026 New York Awards<\/a> gala alongside CFO Jeff Klein<\/a>, VP of Corporate Communications Caroline Johns<\/a>, and Director of Influencer Strategy Paige Rudzin, where Ron was recognized as one of 12 regional winners selected from a competitive group of 32 finalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented annually by Ernst & Young, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the nation\u2019s most prestigious business awards programs, recognizing leaders who demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit, long-term value creation, innovation, and meaningful business impact. Winners were selected by an independent panel of judges composed of past honorees, business leaders, and CEOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recognition reflects Ron\u2019s leadership in building Saatva into a category-defining luxury sleep brand and advancing the company\u2019s mission to help consumers achieve healthier, more restorative lives through better sleep. Since founding Saatva in 2010, Ron has led the company\u2019s growth to more than 400 employees, 33 Viewing Rooms nationwide<\/a>, and revenues approaching $650M while maintaining a commitment to craftsmanship, customer experience, and responsible growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the award, Ron shared on LinkedIn<\/a>: \u201cBuilding a business is never a straight path. It comes with challenges, setbacks, risks, and countless lessons along the way. But it also brings the opportunity to create something meaningful, solve real problems, and work alongside extraordinary people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a regional award winner, Ron will now advance to compete for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year\u00ae U.S. National Award this November in Palm Springs at the Strategic Growth Forum\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n
