Alexandria, Virginia, USA (1 July 2015) – Today, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), the world’s leading peer-to-peer community of entrepreneurs, welcomed Gilberto Crombe as its new chairman of the global board of directors for FY2015/2016. Crombe’s tenure as chairman will focus on bringing together EO’s global network while driving the organization’s strategic initiatives—and the leading entrepreneurs it supports—to achieve success and significance. EO’s thriving membership has increased to more than 11,000 members worldwide, and member companies now generate a combined US$536 billion in annual revenue and employ more than 2.4 million people.
“Throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I have found a common denominator for achieving growth and greatness— teamwork,” said Crombe. “This year, our global community is uniting under a core theme of togetherness. We will continue strengthening our peer-to-peer network of entrepreneurs by building synergy across all levels of the organization, while also making a larger mark on the communities, industries and economies our leading entrepreneurs support.”
