Holden Wins Entrepreneur of the Year Award
Washington, D.C. – January 10, 2005- Charles Holden, President of ABC Computer Services, won the 2004 Entrepreneur of the Year award given by the Washington, D.C. Chamber of Commerce.
Holden was chosen from a select group of talented entrepreneurs because of the dramatic growth experienced by ABC under his leadership. Dissatisfied with his career at industry giant XYZ Corp, Holden started ABC out of a spare bedroom in his house in 1996. He worked on small contracts until 1999, when General Motors hired his company to computerize a region of dealerships. That contract led to others and, by the end of 2003, ABC’s revenues exceeded $12 million. Holden has a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas.
ABC Computer Services specializes in systems integration for Fortune 500 firms. For more information, contact John Q. Public at (202) 555-1234.
