USS' Adel Sayegh Wins Two Entrepreneurship Awards in One Night

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., (November 19, 2014) – In the packed Exhibit Hall of the Riverside Convention Center, in front of 760 guests, the founder and CEO of USS, Adel Sayegh, has been declared the entrepreneur of the year. The 12th annual Spirit of the Entrepreneur Award ceremony saw 27 finalists vie for the highest honors in nine categories. Sayegh won in the Most Innovative category, and then at the end of the night also won the Best of the Best Award, becoming the overall winner.

Sayegh is the founder and CEO of USS, the largest privately held loss prevention company in the U.S. He started his business in his garage in 1995, and today —19 years and over 100 patents later—USS provides security solutions to some of the nation’s largest retail chains. “Behind every successful entrepreneur there is a whole team of dedicated people that helped him build the company,” said Sayegh in his acceptance speech. He thanked his family for their support and encouragement, and his employees for their hard work and dedication.

“Each year we find out just how deep the entrepreneurial talent pool of the Inland Empire is,” said Dr. Mike Stull, founding organizer of the event and director of Cal State San Bernardino’s Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship. “Each award recipient is evaluated in terms of taking risks and building a successful enterprise that creates jobs and value where none existed before.”

This is a second major recognition for Sayegh in as many months. In October he received an award from California Peace Officers Association for harnessing his company’s technology to improve the safety of police officers.
