Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Paul Sellew, founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 New England Award winner.

Sellew was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
