College Awards Corporate Express' Gary Jacobs Receives Entrepreneurial Award, continued
The company is now a $5 billion division of Burhmann N.V., a multi-national business services group in The Netherlands. Jacobs, who earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from CU-Boulder in 1970, was awarded the 2000 Dean's Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence on Oct. 13, 2000. He was the senior executive responsible for the firm's numerous public and private debt and equity financing transactions, including its successful initial public offering and secondary equity offering, many public and private mergers and acquisitions, a leveraged recapitalization, and negotiation of the 1999 merger with Buhrmann N.V. "Gary's exceptional leadership and innovations epitomize the goals of the comprehensive, technologically based education found in our country's leading engineering colleges," said Dean Ross Corotis in making the award. Jacobs also accepted an invitation to serve on the college's Engineering Advisory Council, which advises the dean's office on programs and policies.
