Mr. Mariotti received this honor because his career has touched practically every business sector. Through his nonprofit organization NFTE and the sale of millions of copies of his books, he has taught millions about entrepreneurship and business ownership. He began his career as Ford Motor Company's youngest senior analyst before directing a team in Ford's International Finance Department that established methods still in use today to significantly reduce the company's borrowing costs. Mr. Mariotti also collaborated with famed civil rights leader and social activist Leon Sullivan to design elements of Ford's inaugural anti-apartheid strategy in 1979. Mr. Mariotti then departed Ford Motor Company to launch Mason Import/Export Services in New York City. Mr. Mariotti felt driven to educate and help urban youngsters, so he sold his business and became a special education teacher in some of New York City's most challenging communities, including Bedford-Stuyvesant, the South Bronx, and the Lower East Side.

Mr. Mariotti founded the South Bronx Entrepreneurial Education Project, Inc. in 1987 in a South Bronx classroom dedicated to high school dropouts. He developed this program into the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship, a charity popularly known as NFTE and pronounced “Nifty.”. NFTE teaches low-income adolescents the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and wealth development so they can find their road to success. Mr. Mariotti wrote the first high-school textbook on entrepreneurship for NFTE’s programs, and his  textbooks and curriculum are used in 22 states and 12 countries.  NFTE has served more than one million students from Chicago to China with entrepreneurship education. Mr. Mariotti's curriculum has been used to train more than 12,000 teachers around the world.

In 1995, Mr. Mariotti and Mr. Joseph Robinson co-founded Inmates Teaching Business and Mentorship (ITEM)  after teaching math and entrepreneurship at Rikers Island in New York City, one of the largest jails in America. ITEM is a prison-based program that teaches inmates how to educate their children and fellow offenders on the fundamentals of small business formation, operation and  ownership. This concept was quickly replicated in other jails and has since become a national model.

Mr. Mariotti is a sought-after speaker, lecturer, and regular contributor to the Huffington Post. He has published numerous articles and has co-authored / authored 43 books and manuals. He has served as a motivational coach to empower entrepreneurs worldwide. He has spoken as an entrepreneurship expert at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Brown, Berkeley, Georgetown, Baylor, and Babson College. Mr. Mariotti has also traveled to Southeast Asia as a US State Department guest to share his entrepreneurial education with emerging economies. Mr. Mariotti's 2019 memoir  Amazon #1 Best-Selling books include Profiles in Grit: Why Entrepreneurs Triumph Over Trauma Goodbye Homeboy: How My Students Drove Me Crazy and Inspired a Movement, rose to #22 in Amazon Biographies, #1 in four additional Amazon categories, and won multiple awards..

Throughout his illustrious career, Mr. Mariotti has received many awards and accolades and has been recognized globally for his remarkable leadership and commitment to the profession.  As an IAOTP member, Mr. Mariotti has been recognized numerous times. In 2022 he was named Top Author of the Year, appeared on the Planet Hollywood Billboard on the Las Vegas Strip, and graced the cover of TIP (Top Industry Professionals) Magazine.   In 2020, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award, was selected as Top Global Education Social Entrepreneur of the Decade and the Top Global Social Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2019, he was honored at the Bellagio Hotel as Top Entrepreneur of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals and featured on the renowned Reuters Building in Times Square. This year Mr. Mariotti will be interviewed for on TIP Radio. He has also received the Bernard A. Goldhirsh Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the United States Department of Commerce's National Director's Entrepreneurship Award, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the ACE/Currie Foundation's Humanitarian Venture Award, the Salvatori Award, and the Society of Entrepreneurial Educators' (SEE) first award for Outstanding Educator. Mr. Mariotti has been included in numerous editions of Who's Who in America, Who's Who in Finance and Business, and Who's Who in the World.

Looking back, Mr. Mariotti credits his success to his education, mentors he met along the way, and a desire to serve others. He finds his work very rewarding and hopes others will seek a career as a teacher in low-income communities.
