San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2015
EY today announced that Zeynep ilgaz, Founder, President & CEO of Confirm Biosciences Inc. is a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 Award in San Diego.

A first generation immigrant from Turkey, Mrs. Ilgaz and her husband Serhat Pala came to America 16 years ago from Turkey with nothing but two suitcases, a love for each other, and their shared passion for entrepreneurship. For them, the USA was a beacon of innovation and entrepreneurship.
“With many great opportunities for small businesses, such as government grants, contracts for women-owned businesses, and less bureaucracy, I was ready to start the Company in 2008” Mrs. Ilgaz said. “Teamwork has been the guiding principle of our growth all along. Teamwork with my husband, who serves as an advisor, and teamwork with our wonderful team at Confirm Biosciences, which I like to call the extended part of our family,” she continued.
Confirm Biosciences Inc. was honored to be named to both the 2013 and 2014 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the U.S.
“I am honored, humbled and grateful to be a finalist for the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the year award. And without our passionate team members who truly embody the Company’s entrepreneurial spirit, this honor would not be possible,” said Mrs. Ilgaz. ” This program has also given me a chance to meet impressive fellow entrepreneurs and talented EY employees, and I am thankful and honored, thank you to EY for the recognition,” she continued.
Now in its 29th year, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in more than 60 countries throughout the world.

INTREN Named 2014 PG&E Supplier of the Year
Concord, CA (PRWEB) November 07, 2014
INTREN, an innovative utility solutions partner, is proud to announce it has received Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) 2014 Supplier of the Year and Electric Operations Supplier of the Year Awards. Since joining forces in 2010, the INTREN-PG&E partnership has resulted in jobs for nearly 90 local employees, $ 3 million in second tier spend as a Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) and a growing community outreach program.
As one of the largest combination natural gas and electric utilities in the U.S., San Francisco-based PG&E employs over 20,000 workers to generate more than $ 4 billion annually. With a service area covering nearly 70,000 square miles, PG&E relies on the support of INTREN and other partners to serve their 16 million customers throughout northern and central California.
Initially, INTREN first partnered with PG&E in 2010 to provide underground and electrical overhead work. At that time, INTREN had a local employee base of just 15 people, yet produced nearly $ 2 million in initial spend for PG&E.
Today, just 4 years later, INTREN’s local workforce has grown to nearly 90 among 2 San Francisco Bay Area offices, now producing more than $ 30 million in revenue for PG&E.
Underpinning this growth is the combination of INTREN and PG&E’s commitment to diversity and continuous improvement. As an MWBE contractor, INTREN is proud to be part of PG&E’s focus on boosting California’s economic growth through the development of minority-owned businesses. In fact, in 2013, PG&E spent more than $ 2 billion with diverse suppliers such as INTREN.
“Our commitment to stewardship drives us to embrace and mentor other MWBE companies to offer the same opportunities I was provided,” said Loretta Rosenmayer, INTREN Founder and CEO.
INTREN and PG&E also share a commitment to continuous improvement. In addition to their own employee training and development programs, INTREN will be participating in PG&E’s PowerPathway program to cultivate the next generation of utility workers.
Taking their dedication to stewardship even further, INTREN has grown its employee community service program through relationships with local charities, including Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation, AIDS Walk, Second Harvest Food Bank, Best Buddies International and the ALS Association.
About INTREN

Mid-Market Pulse Index Shows M&A Growth in Financial Services Over Next Year
(PRWEB) July 07, 2014
According to the third report in SourceMedia’s Mid-Market Pulse (MMP), dealmakers expect to see growth in M&A activity over the next 12 months in the overall market as well as in the financial, insurance, and real estate (FIRE) services sector. The MMP, published by Mergers & Acquisitions in partnership with McGladrey LLP, is a forward-looking sentiment indicator that monitors near-and intermediate-term outlook for merger and acquisition activity within the middle market.
The most recent MMP composite index three-month reading of 70.8 marks dealmaker optimism for overall M&A activity for the coming quarter, while the 12-month composite reading of 71.8 indicates that will continue in the intermediate term.
Each month, the MMP index spotlights an individual industry and presents respondents’ expectations for deal activity within that specific sector. This month’s index focuses on the financial, insurance, and real estate services (FIRE) sector. In the near term, the overall market outpaced the FIRE sector by 4.8 index points. However, over 12 months, the outlook swaps as the FIRE services sector reads slightly higher than the overall M&A market with a composite score of 74.7. For a complete analysis of the MMP’s most recent data, go to http://www.TheMiddleMarket.com/mmp-FIRE.
“In the intermediate term, FIRE is expected to grow more than the overall market,” said Mary Kathleen Flynn, editor-in-chief of Mergers & Acquisitions. “Regulatory and tax issues are among the factors driving M&A in FIRE, especially as banks look to divest non-core assets.”
Inside the MMP
The Mergers & Acquisitions Mid-Market Pulse (MMP) is a monthly barometer of sentiment in the mergers and acquisitions business derived from monthly surveys of approximately 250 executives in private equity firms, investment banks, lenders, and advisory firms in accounting, law, and consulting.
Based on a regular set of recurring questions about expectations and trends across a range of key issues in M&A, the MMP is a leading indicator for potential changes in momentum in M&A activity. Various indicators that make up the MMP include projected deal volumes and pricing, staffing resource utilization levels, and the expected impacts of economic conditions, taxes and regulatory policy on future M&A activity.
Survey responses describe expectations and outlooks for three- and 12-month forward periods to arrive at indicator scores. Respondents also are asked to elaborate on their responses and provide opinions about other conditions that affect their M&A outlook.
A Look at the Numbers
In the near-term, the FIRE services sector scored higher in the Tax Impact component than the overall industry with readings of 92.6 and 71.8 respectively.
The same held true over the intermediate term with FIRE registering 87.5 in the Tax Impact component compared to 81.1 for the overall market.
FIRE registered higher in Deal Multiples than the overall industry in the 12-month forecast with a reading of 73.9 compared to 70.1.
What Respondents are Saying
Survey respondents are encouraged to add verbatim comments to their answers. Many echoed the MMP Index’s sentiment about the role taxes will play in M&A activity.
“M&A activity is being driven almost solely by the regulatory bodies,” one respondent said. “There is almost a fear in the industry that regulators are going to come after them next.”
Another said: “Government regulation and instability is the most concerning issue.”
Some deal makers observed a recovery in the real estate sector, which impacts the other parts of the FIRE services sector. “Real estate is slowly coming back, as is consumer confidence,” the respondent said. “The time is right for the economy to really start a slow but steady growth.”
