Wilmington, Del., June 12, 2023 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) today announced that Jeffrey Meiler, CEO and Founder of Best Egg, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 Greater Philadelphia Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Meiler was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors, and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
“I’m honored to be recognized by EY as one of this year’s Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 Greater Philadelphia Award winners among an impressive group of fellow entrepreneurs,” said Meiler. “At Best Egg, we’re focused on providing flexible solutions to help people with limited savings confidently navigate their everyday financial lives. This recognition motivates us to continue working toward this goal.”
For nearly four decades, EY US has honored entrepreneurs whose ambition, courage and ingenuity have driven their companies’ success, transformed their industries and made a positive impact on their communities.

Since 1986, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program has recognized more than 11,000 US executives.
As a Greater Philadelphia award winner, Meiler is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 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.
