MALVERN, PA — Tony Frick, a Malvern resident and the innovative Chairman and CEO of HUSK, a technology and wellness firm based in Wayne, has been named a finalist in the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Greater Philadelphia Awards. This acknowledgment from Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) highlights Frick’s significant contributions to the healthcare and wellness industry, underscoring his role in reshaping consumer engagement and access within the sector.
Now in its 38th year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year® program is renowned for celebrating entrepreneurial leaders who have significantly impacted their industries through innovation and market disruption. Frick’s recognition as a regional finalist places him among an elite group of business visionaries recognized for their ability to drive long-term value, demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit, and foster growth and impact within their organizations and communities at large.
Under Frick’s leadership since 2017, HUSK has transformed from a company primarily focused on fitness to a comprehensive wellness provider. Today, HUSK stands at the forefront of the wellness industry, offering solutions across six verticals that cater to employers, insurers, and consumers alike. The company’s approach—designed to empower individuals in their health, enhance population wellness, improve healthcare access, and reduce costs—has led to its rapid expansion. With a team now four times its original size, HUSK supports thousands of clients both domestically and internationally.
“Our goal at HUSK is to ensure that the wellness benefits everyone deserves are both accessible and affordable,” said Frick. “This recognition from the Entrepreneur Of The Year® program is a reflection of our collective effort at HUSK to make a tangible difference in people’s health and lives.”
The Entrepreneur Of The Year® program honors a diverse range of business leaders, including original founders, transformational CEOs, and multigenerational family business leaders, for their creativity, perseverance, and entrepreneurial spirit. Regional award winners, set to be announced on June 6, will join an esteemed alumni network of past recipients and will have the opportunity to compete for national recognition at the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards in November.
Beyond the awards, EY US also supports entrepreneurs through initiatives like the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ program and the EY Entrepreneurs Access Network, focusing on amplifying opportunities for women founders and Black and Hispanic/Latino entrepreneurs.
Frick’s nomination not only highlights his personal achievements and the success of HUSK but also signals broader trends in the wellness and technology sectors. It reflects an increasing emphasis on holistic, accessible healthcare solutions that leverage technology to meet the intricate needs of modern consumers. As healthcare continues to evolve, leaders like Frick play a crucial role in steering the industry towards more inclusive, efficient, and effective models of care.
