In a noteworthy recognition of business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit, William Vanderveer, the Chief Executive Officer of Redefine Management, has been named the EY US Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 New Jersey Award winner. This honor comes as a crowning achievement in a program that attracts nearly 1,000 participants, consisting of 592 finalists across 17 different regions competing for this esteemed title.

Transforming Healthcare through Leadership

Vanderveer, who is also the founder of Redefine Management, heads an organization that provides administrative and management services supporting Redefine Healthcare. This network is notably recognized as one of New Jersey's largest independent multi-specialty physician groups. Under Vanderveer's visionary leadership, Redefine has evolved into a comprehensive care platform that encompasses multiple medical specialties including orthopedics, spine health, pain management, chiropractic services, physical therapy, and mental health care. The organization's mission places a strong emphasis on empowering independent healthcare providers and delivering exceptional patient outcomes.

Reflecting on this accolade, Vanderveer said, "I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from Ernst & Young. This award reflects not just my journey, but the collective efforts of an extraordinary team that has worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo and build something truly different. It belongs to the physicians, providers, employees, partners, and leaders across Redefine Healthcare and Redefine Management who believe every day that healthcare can be delivered better, more efficiently, and with a relentless focus on patient outcomes."

According to him, this recognition is not merely a destination but rather a motivation to continue transforming healthcare systems, enhancing access for patients, and establishing a model focused on improving health outcomes for the communities served.

A Legacy of Entrepreneurial Innovation

The EY Entrepreneur of the Year program, in its 41st year, serves to honor business leaders recognized for their ingenuity, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit. Participants include original founders who have built their businesses from the ground up, transformative CEOs who have innovated within existing organizations, and leaders of multigenerational family businesses who have redefined their legacy to thrive in dynamic markets.

The winners are selected by an independent panel comprised of prior honorees, esteemed CEOs, and business leaders who assess candidates based on long-term value creation, innovative entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to purpose, and their impact within their industries.

Having been recognized as a New Jersey award winner, Vanderveer will now be considered for the national awards, with the announcement slated for November during the annual Strategic Growth Forum®. This event brings together high-growth CEOs, Fortune 1000 executives, and investors to discuss the future of business. Furthermore, the national winner will have the opportunity to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in May 2027.

Notable Past Entrepreneurial Leaders

Over the years, the program has honored numerous influential figures, including Jason McGowan of Crumbl Cookies, Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn, and the leadership at Starbucks. This illustrious list showcases the caliber of entrepreneurs recognized by EY for their transformative contributions to their businesses and industries.
