The Columbus Chamber of Commerce recognized TENFOLD Founder + CEO Rachel Friedman with the 2020 Small Business Leader Award at their Annual Meeting this week.

The Small Business Leader Award honors a business of 500 employees or under and recognizes qualities like leadership, business excellence, and contributions to the community. Entrants are initially nominated by their peers, with finalists selected following an extensive vetting process by a committee of judges who consider a competitive set of criteria.

In her acceptance speech at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting, TENFOLD Founder + CEO Rachel Friedman shared, “I feel so lucky to be from Columbus, to have built my life here, and to have started my business here. This community of clients, partners, coaches, mentors, advisors, and friends has provided so much support… and simply very kind words of encouragement that have been so meaningful to me, both personally and professionally. To me, this is the Columbus way. Really good people just wanting to see other really good people succeed, and do whatever they can to selflessly and generously provide their support. It is truly extraordinary. The very best part of this recognition is that it gives me the opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation for this city, and in particular this business community.”

The Columbus Chamber has been honoring small businesses with its annual award for over 30 years.

“The Columbus Chamber is proud to continue its support of the small business community at its 2020 Annual Meeting,” says Chamber President and CEO Don DePerro. “Our finalists have helped shape Columbus’ thriving business climate, which is powered by small businesses representing all industries. We are thrilled to recognize their passion, hard work, and success.” 

Past recipients can be viewed in the Small Business Leader Award Hall of Fame and include Cameron Mitchell, Dwight Smith, and Lori Kaiser.
