Cambridge, MA - November 1, 2004 - MetaCarta®, Inc., a leading provider of geographic intelligence, announces today that its Vice President of Finance and Operations, Doug Brenhouse, has been recognized as one of the “40 Under 40” next generation’s business leaders and innovators by the Boston Business Journal.
Since 1998, the 40 Under 40 supplement has recognized 40 of Boston’s brightest business and civic personalities under 40 years of age. The selections were made by a team of editors that assessed each nominee’s influence on industry and local business. Also important in the selection process were contributions to the civic health of Greater Boston through volunteer work and other forms of philanthropy.
“Boston stands at the forefront of America’s economy, and the vigor and razor-sharp intelligence of this year’s honorees holds out promise that the region will continue to lead,” said George Donnelly, editor of the Boston Business Journal. “Every year, we receive more nominations than the year before, and 2004 was no exception. We could easily have published a 100 Under 40 supplement and still will not diminish the quality of the field.”
On November 9, the Boston Business Journal will host a celebratory reception at the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center to honor the 40 finalists and their guests.
“To be recognized as one of the Boston Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 is a high honor for me as well as for MetaCarta, “said Doug Brenhouse. “We’ve worked hard to gain both local and global recognition and I am truly pleased with this distinction. I would like to thank the Boston Business Journal for including me in this prestigious list.”
