Steven Odzer, Founder and CEO of BuyLifeGuard.com – Why We Recognize Him
Steven Odzer’s humble beginnings will inspire anyone who wants to start a business from the ground up. He started a paper goods business at age 18 out of his parent’s basement, which he successfully grew. His entrepreneurial spirit and perseverance earned him Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in Distribution in 2000 for exemplifying excellence in the industry.
Odzer knows what it’s like to start from scratch and make a name for yourself through hard work, dedication, and commitment in a competitive industry. This is why he gives back to the community through his philanthropic acts, such as providing his expertise to entrepreneurs, startups, and non-profit organizations.
He also established the Steven Odzer Foundation, which offers scholarships to high school and college students who are financially burdened. Odzer believes in the importance of education, which helped propel him to success.
Odzer encourages students to follow their dreams. The lack of finances for students can stop them from continuing college or university studies. He is driven by the principle that investing in the youth can significantly impact building a stronger community. He also provides funding for students and encourages businesses and philanthropists to reach out to them to start funding and contribute to the community.
For Odzer, giving is a lifestyle that’s fueled by joy, compassion, and empathy.
