BrokersWeb Inc., a provider of pay-per-click advertising for insurance and financial services, has announced that Founder and CEO Matias de Tezanos is an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 Florida Award finalist in the Emerging category.
According to Ernst & Young, the awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. BrokersWeb noted that De Tezanos was selected as a finalist from nearly 100 nominations by a panel of independent judges.
Matias de Tezanos, honored by the Economic World Forum in 2009 as a Young Global Leader, has been a successful Internet entrepreneur since 2000 when he founded Hoteles.com. The site became one of the top hotel reservations sites in Spanish and was acquired by Expedia in 2002. By 2003, de Tezanos had co-founded ClickDiario.com, an online advertising network targeting Spanish speaking Internet users worldwide. Two years later, the company was ranked as the leading Spanish language ad network by Comscore, reaching 6 of 10 Internet users, and by 2006, it was acquired and renamed .FOX. De Tezanos' next venture, HealthCare.com, was a Florida-based Internet search company focused on serving millions of healthcare-related searches every month. The company evolved to become BrokersWeb.com in 2008.
"It is an honor to be part of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year finalists," shared de Tezanos. "All finalists are tremendous businessmen and women to whom I have looked up over the years, and it is a personal milestone to see my name amongst such successful and accomplished entrepreneurs."
