BOSTON, MA (April 19, 2023) – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Cohere Health’s CEO, Siva Namasivayam, was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 New England Award finalist.

Now in its 37th year, Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for transformative entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies who are building a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous world for all.

Siva was selected by an independent panel of judges. Entrepreneurs 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 as a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year award,” said Siva Namasivayam, CEO of Cohere Health. “This is my third entrepreneurial venture in healthcare, I couldn’t be prouder of the team we are building at Cohere. The company is comprised of doctors, nurses, analysts, engineers, product experts, designers, and other passionate individuals–all of whom are committed to transforming the prior authorization process by aligning physicians and health plans on evidence-based care paths to reduce administrative expenses and improve patient outcomes. Together, we’re working to improve patient care and build a healthcare system that works for everyone.”

Regional award winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 7, during a special celebration. The winners will then be considered by the National judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation’s most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2024.
