BoxTone CEO Alan Snyder Named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2011 Maryland Award Winner

COLUMBIA, Md., June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BoxTone today announced that CEO Alan Snyder received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2011 Maryland Award in the Technology category. Snyder was recognized for demonstrating excellence and extraordinary success in innovation and financial performance at BoxTone, and in his personal commitment and contributions to the community.

"As much as this is a personal honor to have been selected for this award, it is the entrepreneurial spirit embodied within all of BoxTone that has made it possible," commented Snyder. "We've created a culture of excellence, dedicated to delivering the solutions that help our customers accelerate the pace at which they can mobilize their business. This approach has enabled us to grow a successful business, and will continue to drive innovation at BoxTone."

When Snyder joined the Company as CEO in 2005, he restructured the balance sheet and capital structure, created a business category with the introduction of a new product line, and rebranded the company as BoxTone. Under a new Company mission, to fully mobilize an enterprise's business and empower a high-performance mobile workforce, Snyder led BoxTone to experience twenty-one consecutive quarters of growth, including 270% sales growth over the past four years.

Today, BoxTone is a leading Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) company delivering solutions that secure, manage and support nearly a million mobile devices for a global roster of enterprise and government customers, including 40 of the Fortune® 100. Snyder was selected by Ernst & Young's independent panel of judges, and the award was presented at a gala event at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront on June 23, 2011.

As a Maryland award winner, Snyder is now eligible for consideration for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 National Award. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the overall Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year National Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 12, 2011.
