GLADWYNE, Pa., June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Jason Brown, CEO of MRO 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 transformational leaders of high-growth companies.

Mr. Brown was selected by an independent judging panel made up 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 the demonstration of growth and substantial impact, among other key indicators.

"I am truly humbled by this award and want to thank the EY panel for this incredible recognition. I take pride in unifying teams, fostering innovation and creating pathways for sustainable future growth, and that's what we have done at MRO," said Brown. "This award is also a testament to our incredible team, our remarkable culture, and our ability to work together to get the right things done for the betterment of our healthcare partners. As the market-leading clinical data exchange company, MRO creates a gateway for healthcare providers and other consumers of clinical data to get the information they need with greater fidelity and lower latency, while balancing compliance, security, and above all else, privacy."

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.
