40 Under 40 Award

I was very pleased to receive an award from the Boston Business Journal last night as one of the 40 top business/nonprofit leaders in Boston under the age of 40.

I’m quite sure that my award was the result of a friend stapling two $20 on the application.

You can see the list of honorees and be a judge for yourself.  (I did get to rub elbows with Larry Lucchino, whose nephew in my “year” as well.)

As part of the ceremony, we were allowed three free words — such as, “Go Red Sox!” or in financial news, “Don’t Panic. Yet.”   Any words thereafter cost $25/each, with payments donated to a local nonprofit agency.

It was an expensive evening for me.

I’ll post my speech next week…

About Paul Griffiths

Paul has been CEO of MedTouch since April of 2007 and, prior to that, held the position of COO. As a co-founder, he has helped set the vision for the company from its inception. Paul is an active speaker in the healthcare marketing community. In addition to the dozen webinars MedTouch presents each year, Paul can be seen and heard giving lively talks around the country about helping healthcare organizations succeed online: from New England (NESHCo), to Tennessee (TSHPRM), Florida (FSHPRM), and Las Vegas (Annual Healthcare Internet Conference). Prior to MedTouch, Paul managed online brand experiences for a variety of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. He has over 15 years of combined experience in online commerce, interactive marketing, experience design and content management solutions. Most notably, he directed the consumer-facing channel for the now defunct Send.com, an online gift delivery network that raised $45 million from such VC luminaries as Greylock, Highland Capital, Benchmark and Charles Rivers Ventures in the late 1990s. Paul earned a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from Boston University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College. When he’s not traveling across the country to visit clients or to speak at healthcare conferences, Paul runs a humanitarian non-profit with his wife. He’s thrilled to finally have a yard for his dogs and two boys, and often daydreams of spending a summer in Iceland.
