Ernst & Young LLP has announced the winners of its Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Southwest Award, honoring visionary leaders of high-growth companies driving innovation, growth and prosperity for future generations. Among the honorees is U.S. Oral Surgery Management USOSM President and CEO Richard Hall.
“I have great respect for Ernst & Young. In addition to being one of the world’s largest accounting and consulting firms, it has developed a well-earned reputation for excellence across multiple industries,” said Hall. “Ernst & Young has been recognizing some of the world’s best and brightest entrepreneurs for 40 years, and I’m deeply honored to be recognized alongside them as one of this year’s Southwest regional award winners.”
The Ernst & Young Southwest region award program includes candidates from North Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas. Regional winners were selected by an independent panel of past winners, top CEOs and business leaders. Judges evaluated candidates on long-term value creation, entrepreneurial spirit, purpose-driven commitment and significant growth and impact.
