Hillsboro, Ore (PRWEB) June 09, 2015 -- EY announced that Dave Sanders, Co-Founder and CEO, ZOOM+, the innovator of on-demand healthcare and Performance Health Insurance, received the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2015 Award in the healthcare category in the Pacific Northwest. The award recognizes outstanding entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Sanders was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award was presented at a special gala event at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel on June 5th.
“We started 9 years ago with a bold promise,” said Sanders, “to deliver Twice the Health, at Half the Cost and Ten Times the Delight. Today, ZOOM+ represents a new generation of healthcare, a complete system with insurance built in that you control with your phone. One that is not based on sickness, nor even on wellness, but on enhancing human performance. Everyday we get closer to our promise of Twice. 1/2. Ten.”
Now in its 29th year, the program has honored the inspirational leadership of such entrepreneurs as Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee Company, Pierre Omidyar of eBay, Inc., and Mindy Grossman of HSN. Recent US national winners include Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn; Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Chobani; and 2014 winner Dr. David Hung, President and CEO and Chairman of Medivation.
As a Pacific Northwest award winner, Sanders is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2015 national program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 14, 2015. The awards are the culminating event of the EY Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
