EY Announces James Lovett and Mike Cohen of Myonex as an Entrepreneur Of The Year^® 2024 Greater Philadelphia Award Winner

Celebrating the bold leaders who disrupt markets, revolutionize industries and transform lives.

Gladwyne, PA, June 6, 2024 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that James Lovett, CEO, and Mike Cohen, Executive Chairman of Myonex were named an Entrepreneur Of The Year^® 2024 Greater Philadelphia Award winner. Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent competitive awards program for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.

James Lovett and Mike Cohen were selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs and other business leaders. Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their purpose and the demonstration of growth and substantial impact, among other key indicators.

“This award is an amazing achievement—not just for James and me—but for the entire company. This award celebrates what we have all created. I am very grateful for the contributions every employee makes to this great company every day,” said Mike.

“Even if our names are on the plaque, this is a team award for what everyone at Myonex has accomplished so far. Congrats to everyone and thank you,” said James.

Myonex grew out of a family-owned retail pharmacy in Norristown, PA in 1931 to become the leading global complete clinical trial supply company it is today. Myonex offers solutions in central and local drug sourcing, packaging, labeling, and ancillary supply to support each trial’s specific requirements and complexities. With the recent acquisitions of Saveway Compounding Pharmacy and Creapharm, Myonex has further expanded its capabilities and reach. Now operating from nine locations across the US, Germany, UK, and France, Myonex has been named Philadelphia Inquirer “Top Place to Work” three years in a row, and United Kingdom’s Sunday Times “Best Place to Work” in 2024. Myonex partners with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract research organizations (CROs), and other clinical trial service providers seeking a flexible, comprehensive solution for their trial and commercial supply needs.

As a Greater Philadelphia award winner, James Lovett and Mike Cohen are now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National Awards. The National Award winners, including the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in November at the Strategic Growth Forum^®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year^® Award in June 2025.

Entrepreneur Of The Year recognizes many different types of 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 fortify it for the future.

• Daymond John of FUBU
