ANOVA Founders Win Entrepreneur Of The Year 2020 New Jersey

Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has announced that Martin Adams and Robert Barnacle, founders of ANOVA, were named as Entrepreneur Of The Year 2020 New Jersey Award winners. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The award recognizes those entrepreneurial leaders who are excelling in overcoming adversity; financial performance; societal impact and commitment to building a values-based company; innovation; and talent management. Adams and Barnacle were selected by an independent panel of judges. The award was announced through the program’s first-ever virtual awards gala, hosted by Deborah Norville, anchor of Inside Edition, on Oct. 7, 2020.

ANOVA is the leading global provider of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions to remotely monitor and manage industrial assets—including industrial tank levels, pressures and temperatures, and predictive maintenance of related industrial equipment. It has over 30 years of experience providing the world’s most trusted wireless monitoring hardware, actionable software technologies, and powerful analytics. Adams and Barnacle cofounded DataOnline, now Anova, in 1989, and currently assist Anova as strategic partners in growth, customer success, and overall operations.

Since 1986, EY US has honored entrepreneurs whose ingenuity, spirit of innovation, and tenacity have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries, and made a positive impact on their communities. Adams and Barnacle will go on to become a lifetime member of the esteemed multi-industry community of award winners, with exclusive, ongoing access to the experience, insight, and wisdom of fellow alumni and other ecosystem members in over 60 countries—all supported by vast EY resources.

As a New Jersey award winner, Adams and Barnacle are now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2020 National Awards. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced Nov. 19 during a virtual awards gala. The awards are the culminating event of this year’s virtual Strategic Growth Forum, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year Award in June 2021.

Founded and produced by EY US, the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards are nationally sponsored by SAP America and the Kauffman Foundation (Kansas City, Mo.). In New Jersey, sponsors also include PNC Bank and DLA Piper.
