Celebrating Vision, Purpose, and the Power of Faith-Driven Innovation

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / In a moment that honors innovation, resilience, and bold leadership, PRAY.COM Founder and CEO Steve Gatena was named among the finalists for the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Entrepreneur of the Year® at a gala celebration held at the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel earlier this month.

Presented by EY, the Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award recognizes the builders of tomorrow-trailblazers who redefine industries and shape communities with lasting impact. Now in its 40th year, the award is a milestone celebration of those creating long-term value through bold vision, strong character, and relentless execution.

Among 26 elite finalists, Gatena stood out for his unwavering commitment to purpose, innovation, and positive global influence through faith-based technology.

“I’m humbled and honored to be recognized alongside so many transformational leaders,” Gatena shared. “Each finalist here tonight is driven by a deep passion to leave the world better than we found it. I thank God, our team, and the millions who use PRAY.COM every day to connect more deeply with their faith and purpose.”

Recognizing Bold Leadership with Purpose

Gatena’s selection was based on criteria such as entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth trajectory, and enduring impact. Bridget Ahern, EY Greater LA Co-Director, described this year’s class as “bold entrepreneurs making a lasting difference in their industries and communities.” Co-Director Kim Harrington added, “These are trailblazers with unwavering dedication to their people, their vision, and the lives they touch.”

Past Los Angeles honorees include household names like Joey Gonzalez (Barry’s), Janice Bryant Howroyd (ActOne Group), and John V. Shields (Trader Joe’s)-visionaries who turned ideas into cultural touchstones. Gatena now joins their ranks, not only as a business leader, but as a faith-forward catalyst for hope, healing, and human flourishing.

“This award shines a spotlight on something bigger than me-it highlights a mission,” Gatena added. “At a time when the world is overwhelmed with noise, distraction, and division, PRAY.COM is creating sacred space for peace, clarity, and connection. We are committed to improving mental and spiritual health globally-and this recognition reminds us how urgent and vital that mission is.”
