 Eview 360's Founder and Chief Creative Officer Wael Berrached has been selected as a finalist in the 2009 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards program for the Central Great Lakes Region. The awards program recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who demonstrate extraordinary success through building and leading dynamic and growing businesses. Berrached, who was selected as a finalist by a panel of independent judges, will be honored at a gala event at the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn, Mich., on June 11. "I am honored to have been selected as a finalist for this award," said Berrached. "Eview 360 has experienced continued growth over the past 10 years by growing and evolving organically. I believe that continuously investing in our business and our employees has played a key role in that growth." Based in Farmington Hills, Eview 360 was founded by Berrached as a technology company in 1999. Over its 10-year history, the firm has grown from a two-person start-up to a full-service design agency with a roster of Fortune 500 clients. Like many entrepreneurs in the late 1990's, Berrached honed in on opportunities the dot- com bubble presented, but recognized the bubble's instability and the potential financial risk that was involved. Early recognition from Visteon and Ford Motor Company enabled Eview 360 to make its mark and grow into new areas. The development of 360WARE, a software platform used to power www.fordland.net - Ford Motor Company's dealer extranet site - was the key piece that helped Eview 360 flourish. The project was vital to ensuring Eview 360's survival and ability to expand, even during the dot- com crash. Other automotive clients now include Jaguar, Land Rover, Toyota, Volvo and Volkswagen.
