Rackie Recognized for his Leadership Driving
Keyfactor Through Hyper-Growth and Disrupting the Machine Identity
& PKI Market
Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Jordan
Rackie, CEO of Keyfactor, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year®
2024 East Central Award winner. Entrepreneur Of The Year is the
preeminent competitive awards program for entrepreneurs and leaders
of high-growth companies. Rackie was recognized for leading the
company through substantial corporate hyper-growth and achieving
impactful cultural accolades.
“I am extraordinarily honored to be named an Entrepreneur Of The
Year by EY’s prestigious group of judges,” said Jordan Rackie, CEO,
Keyfactor. “I joined Keyfactor as CEO just over five years ago, and
it has been an incredible journey. This recognition is a testament
to Keyfactor’s significant growth, ability to scale, commitment to
customers, and dedication to innovation - and it’s only just the
beginning. Congratulations to all the other admirable winners for
their impactful business leadership, shaping their respective
industries.”
Under Rackie’s leadership, Keyfactor has achieved momentous
company milestones over the last twelve months. In February, the
company announced it had surpassed $100 million in annual recurring
revenue, a testament to its strong financial stability and
committed customer base. This came on the heels of a significant
investment from Sixth Street Growth, which increased Keyfactor’s
valuation to approximately $1.3 billion. Further, the company
celebrated 525% three-year revenue growth.
Rackie was selected by an independent judging panel comprised of
previous award winners, leading CEOs, and other business leaders.
Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create
long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their
purpose, and demonstrating growth and substantial impact, among
other key indicators.
Entrepreneur Of The Year recognizes many different types of
business leaders for their ingenuity, courage, and entrepreneurial
spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped
their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow
their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an
existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and
multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy
business model to fortify it for the future.
Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners become lifetime members
of a global, multi-industry community of entrepreneurs. They
receive exclusive, ongoing access to the experience, insight, and
wisdom of program alumni and other ecosystem members in more than
60 countries — all supported by vast EY resources. In addition to
Entrepreneur Of The Year, EY US supports other entrepreneurs
through the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ (Winning Women)
program and the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network (EAN) to help
connect women founders and Black and Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs,
respectively, with the resources, network and access needed to
unlock their full potential.
