EY has announced Matt Kaulig a winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year award. Kaulig is the owner and president of LeafFilter North, LLC, an international home improvement company. The company has received recognition for its superior product, great work environment, and its outstanding leader.
Kaulig has propelled the company from one small office in Hudson, OH to the largest gutter protection company in North America over the last 12 years. He’s had such confidence in the potential of gutter protection, alone, that it’s remained his sole focus, despite other brands in the industry branching off into other areas of home improvement. This hard work and dedication has laid the foundation for success.
“I am so humbled to have received this award,” says Kaulig. “I’m so proud of all we’ve achieved as a company; it’s truly a team effort. I consider it a privilege to be able to lead our team to success. We’ve worked together to meet the needs of homeowners and keep them safe, which is incredibly satisfying.”
The individuals who were candidates for the accolade are leaders in talent, innovation, and discipline. They all have an eye for talent, and know how to lead their team to new heights. So what sets Kaulig apart from the rest? Countless traits made Kaulig the outstanding candidate for the Entrepreneur of the Year award. Determination, adaptation, passion, and vision, among others.
“We have big things planned for LeafFilter, and this truly inspires me to continue down our path of growing this company and redefining the industry as a whole,” Kaulig says of his plans for the future. “It is such an honor to be recognized by this award, but it certainly doesn’t mean I’ve reached my limits as a leader. We’re aiming for unimaginable success, and I’m confident that we have the talent, drive, and following to get us there. I’m looking forward to rising to the challenge!”
The entire LeafFilter team is proud to work with Kaulig, and is thrilled that entities outside of the company have recognized him for what they’ve known all along. The LeafFilter team is behind his vision 100% because, with an exceptional leader, the sky really is the limit.
