“Every one of our winners tonight and every one of our nominees has followed in the path of great innovators,” said David H. Glusman, Partner-in-Charge of Marcum’s Philadelphia office. “The things you try don’t always work. In order to be innovative, you have to be willing to fail before you succeed and succeed big. That’s what we’re celebrating tonight. Marcum is honored to congratulate each of the outstanding companies whose achievements made the inaugural Marcum Innovator of the Year Awards so incredibly difficult to judge.”
“We’re excited to be working with Marcum and the other great sponsors of this program to promote innovation throughout the region,” said Jim McDonald, President & Publisher.
