Christopher Tarantino, Epicenter Innovation CEO & Founder, Judges Global Student Entrepreneur Awards Nationals Competition in Chicago
Chicago, IL, March 3, 2022 – Christopher Tarantino, the CEO & Founder of Epicenter Innovation, is a judge for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) Nationals Competition on Thursday. The competition is hosted by the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and is the final round for U.S.-based students to compete in before the Global Finals.
According to the GSEA website, the event is the “premier global competition for students who own and operate a business while attending college or university.” This year’s U.S. National Competition, featuring winners from local and regional competitions across the country, is being held at The University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business’s Gleacher Center. Seven finalists will compete in Thursday’s competition, and the winner will advance to the global competition, held later this spring.
Tarantino, who was invited to join EO last fall, will be judging the competition. As the CEO & Founder of Epicenter Innovation, he aims to revolutionize the emergency management industry. Founded on the core tenet that resilience and innovation go hand-in-hand, Epicenter Innovation aims to connect technology providers and public safety organizations so that the right tools can be in the right hands when they’re needed most.
“I’m honored to be a judge for the competition,” says Tarantino. “Being part of EO has connected me to so many unique and innovative thought leaders across multiple industries, and the importance of growing together is a core principle that carries through to the GSEA. By being part of this year's competition, I hope to provide insight on my own entrepreneurship journey and contribute to the futures of young business leaders.”
