Qstream Closes 2021 With Four Award Wins That Demonstrate Its Workplace Learning Innovation

Ernst & Young announced that John Berkowitz, CEO and Founder of OJO Labs, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year^® 2021 Central Texas Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The award recognizes those who are unstoppable entrepreneurial leaders, excelling in talent management; degree of difficulty; financial performance; societal impact and building a values-based company; and originality, innovation and future plans. Berkowitz was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award was announced during the program’s virtual awards gala on August 4, 2021.

“It is an absolute honor to be named a 2021 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Winner,” said Berkowitz. “OJO Labs has seen an incredible year of growth despite the headwinds of the pandemic. I’m hugely proud of the work that our team has done to scale the business while tackling inequity in the real estate industry; this recognition is a testament to the hard work of each and every member of the OJO Labs team, and to the lasting impact OJO Labs has on the world.”

For 35 years, EY US has honored entrepreneurs whose ambition, courage and ingenuity have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries and made a positive impact on their communities.

As a Central Texas award winner, Berkowitz is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2021 National Awards. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in November at the Strategic Growth Forum^®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
