OC’s Innovators: No Stopping in Sight

■ By KATIE MURAR

Last September, the Business Journal honored six local executives, inventors and medical researchers leading the charge in a variety of fields at the seventh annual Innovator of the Year Awards.

From renowned researchers to an engineer with space dreams, the winners hail from varying industries, from restaurants to banking, but they share more similarities than differences.

For one, they’re all focused on new opportunities, whether its introducing food products, taking their companies public, expanding scientific discoveries or even looking to outer space for a new business.

The Business Journal recently caught up with the six winners to see what’s changed in the past year.

The next Innovator of the Year Awards is scheduled for Sept. 9 at the Irvine Marriott.

Bios for the nominees for the upcoming event begin on page 38.
