Salus Capital Partners announced that Andrew H. Moser, president and CEO, received the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2014 Award for the Financial Services category in the New England Region.

The program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Moser was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award was presented at a special gala event at the Sheraton Boston on June 10.

“I am truly humbled by this recognition and would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the team at Salus Capital, mentors throughout my career, my family and friends and those who over the years have invested in me with their faith, trust and confidence. Our success is due largely to the hard work and dedication of our incredibly driven, talented and supportive group of professionals,” remarked Moser.

Moser is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2014 national program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 15, 2014.
