MALVERN, Pa., June 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) is pleased to announce that Domenic Colasante, CEO and Co-Founder of 2X, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Greater Philadelphia Award winner. Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent competitive awards program for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.
Domenic Colasante was selected by an independent judging panel composed of previous award winners, leading CEOs, and other business leaders. Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their purpose, and demonstrating growth and substantial impact, among other key indicators.
"Thank you to our partners at JP Morgan for trusting my vision when I was just starting 2X. My deepest gratitude also extends to our investors at Recognize, our private equity firm, who support us every day and believe in what we do,” said Colasante. “My thanks also go out to the nearly 1,000 team members globally. Everyone at 2X, from writers, designers, data analysts, and marketing technologists to AI professionals, show up at their best because they share the same passion as I do—helping CMOs generate greater impact and produce more results.”
As a Greater Philadelphia award winner, Domenic Colasante is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National Awards. The National Award winners, including the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award in June 2025.
Entrepreneur Of The Year recognizes many different types of business leaders for their ingenuity, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to fortify it for the future.
