Jerry Jendusa to be Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award at Innovation + Entrepreneurship Forum

Hey everyone! I’ve got some exciting news to share with you. Jerry Jendusa, a super successful entrepreneur, is going to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at the upcoming Innovation + Entrepreneurship Forum. How cool is that?

Jerry is no stranger to the business world. He co-founded a company called EMTEQ, which is based in New Berlin. But he didn’t stop there. After selling EMTEQ, he went on to co-found a business advisory company. Talk about ambition!

But that’s not all. Jerry has also invested in several other businesses, including a biotech company called Xiogenix. And get this, he even stars as a mogul on the TV show Project Pitch It. I bet he gives some awesome advice to all those entrepreneurs on the show.

The Innovation + Entrepreneurship Forum is going to be held on November 30th at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee. It’s going to be a great event, so make sure to mark your calendars.

Now, let’s talk about Jerry’s accomplishments. He co-founded EMTEQ back in 1996, and he turned it into a $100 million company. That’s no small feat, my friends. And in 2014, he sold the business. Talk about a successful exit!

But Jerry didn’t stop there. He’s also the majority owner and chairman of the board for Xiogenix. They recently moved to a new facility in Muskego, and they were even recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in southeastern Wisconsin. Way to go, Xiogenix!

And let’s not forget about Jerry’s TV career. He’s been a fixture on Project Pitch It, which is like the Wisconsin version of Shark Tank. I can only imagine the wisdom he shares with those aspiring entrepreneurs.

But Jerry isn’t the only one being honored at the Innovation + Entrepreneurship Forum. Dean Amhaus, the president and CEO of The Water Council, will also be recognized with the Regional Spirit Award. The Water Council does some amazing work to promote water-related research and economic development in the Milwaukee region.

And there are four individuals who will be receiving awards for their excellence in entrepreneurship. We’ve got Navroz “Norrie” Daroga, the president of CodeBaby; Roy Dietsch, the CEO of PartsBadger; Britt Gottschalk, the founder and CEO of Geno.Me; and Paul Stillmank, the founder and executive chairman of 7Rivers. These folks are truly inspiring!

Last but not least, there will be four companies receiving awards for their excellence in innovation. I can’t wait to see who takes home the prizes.

The Innovation + Entrepreneurship Forum is sponsored by Johnson Financial Group. They’re really stepping up to support the entrepreneurial community, and we appreciate their generosity.

So, mark your calendars for November 30th and get ready for an amazing event. Let’s celebrate the achievements of Jerry Jendusa and all the other incredible entrepreneurs who are making a difference in the business world. See you there!
