Entrepreneur Of The Year celebrates ambitious entrepreneurs who are shaping the future

Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced the finalists for the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Mid-Atlantic Award. Now in its 40th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world’s most ground-breaking companies, revolutionizing industries and making a profound impact on communities. The program honors bold entrepreneurs whose innovations shape the future and pave the way for a thriving economy and a hopeful tomorrow. The Mid-Atlantic program celebrates entrepreneurs from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

An independent panel of judges selected Areo Nazari, CEO of CaryHealth, among 36 finalists for their entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, and lasting impact in building long-term value.

“It’s an honor to be recognized as a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2025 Mid-Atlantic Award,” said Areo Nazari, CEO of CaryHealth. “This is a time for our team to celebrate and look back at our success while navigating all the various challenges we faced on our growth journey. As a lean and capital-efficient organization, we have risen to become innovation leaders within the pharmacy industry. Our team will continue to focus on the mission that created our fantastic growth, which is scalable innovation while improving outcomes one patient at a time. To be named among such a remarkable group of leaders is both an honor and a reminder of the impact we can have when we stay focused on people and purpose.”

Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to strengthen it for the future.

Regional award winners will be announced on June 18 during a special celebration in Washington, DC, and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies.
