While many of you may be familiar with the online perfume store, Perfume Bay, you may not know much about it’s founder and president, Jacquelyn Tran.

Recently named a finalist in the 2007 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, Tran leveraged her parents’ downtown Los Angeles “mom-and-pop” beauty store into a multi-million dollar online company.

This isn’t the first time that Tran will be recognized for her business savvy. In 2006, Inc. Magazine listed Tran among the “30 Hottest Entrepreneurs Under 30″ and OC METRO Magazine included Tran on its annual Hot 25 list.

It’s clear that Tran has quite a bit of makeup (and business) moxie, and we wish her the best of luck. The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award winner will be announced on June 19, 2007.
