Boston, MA – May 1, 2018 – EY today announced that John Lunny, Chief Executive Officer of Vestmark, is a semifinalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2018 Award in the New England region. The awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who have excelled in areas such as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Lunny was selected as a semifinalist by a panel of independent judges. Award winners will be announced at a special gala event on June 28, 2018 at the Westin Waterfront in Boston.

Not only is the company widely respected for ground-breaking technology, but also as a leading place to work in the Boston area.

“We’re honored to have our CEO recognized as a semifinalist in the world’s most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs,” said Lonnie Macdonald, CMO of Vestmark. “John is a respected, inspiring leader with an unwavering commitment to his vision. His leadership has enabled Vestmark to seize an opportunity to disrupt the industry approach to portfolio management and trading and evolve with industry dynamics, even in the face of great market uncertainty.”
