Ranking among other award category winners including Coca-Cola, Edelman, and Tropicana, Aston’s recognition as Leader Of The Year celebrates his major accomplishments with the BWZ media tech company throughout the previous year: the company’s $3.6M acquisition of Crozdesk, the launch of a B2B vendor portal and multi-site platform build, and team growth from 8 to 25 full-time employees.
