Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award is the most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs.

Mr. Pagon was a previous finalist in 2004 and 2005, and at the 2007 banquet received the Northeast Ohio, Technology top honor. Other finalists in his category included Predictive Services and Vertex, and additional category winners included companies like Dealer Tire, Shearer's Food and Insurance.com.

He founded the firm in 1989 at the age of 23, and has guided the company through the ever-changing technology market. In recent years, he has propelled Brulant, now a leading ecommerce firm, through a period of rapid growth, including 100% in 2006.
