Columbus, Ohio – EY today announced that Walter Lynch, CEO of Zipline Logistics, is a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2018 Award in the East Central program.

Lynch was selected as a finalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on June 28, 2018, at the Cleveland Hilton Downtown Hotel.
“Launching Zipline Logistics eleven years ago has been an incredibly rewarding experience,” adds Lynch. “I am honored that our vision and hard work is being recognized through the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® program.
