أن يتناول بين يديه
Unlike my peers, I would not go for the English translation for 'entrepreneur', but I would deal with the original French word etymologically.
entrepreneur <- entreprendre (Fr.) [to tackle, proceed, undertake]
entreprendre <- entre-prendre = inter (L.) [between] + prēndere (L.) [to take]
Hence, 'entrepreneur' = who takes between [his hands] = who takes in his hands = الذي يتناول [بين يديه] ـ
Possible variatons:
الذي يتناول بيديه
الذي يتناول
It has a very close notion to 'يتناول' as in 'لو حاولنا تناول الأمر من زاوية أخرى'.

Comment: "it's the underlying sense "to take into hand" that needed to be discussed, not the end term 'entrepreneur'. and is it as good as "to take in hand"?"

يتولى الريادة
With reference to an business dictionary, the word entrepreneur refers to someone who has one of the 10 main roles.
الدور الريادي هو أحد أدوار الإدارة العشرة التي يقوم بها مدير المنشأة.
So depending on the defهnition of entrepreneur, I would say شخص يتولى الإدارة أو الدور الريادي
