COLUMBUS, Ohio , May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Mickey Shimp, President of Mix Talent was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 East Central Award finalist. Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who think big to succeed.
Shimp was selected by a panel of independent judges according to the following criteria – entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact – among other core contributions and attributes. When asked about his proudest accomplishment as an entrepreneur, he said, "My proudest accomplishment so far has been helping to build Mix Talent with his incredible team who lives our core values every day to help companies make a positive impact on the lives of patients."
Mix Talent is a talent acquisition and consulting organization built to support the near-term goals and long-term success of pharma, biotech, digital therapeutics/medtech, and gene therapy organizations.
