Magellan Search Group Founder Matthew Kenefic Inducted into Philadelphia Business Journals 40 Under 40
Philadelphia, Pa. (May 24, 2012) Matthew Kenefic, Founder and
President of Magellan Search Group was proudly inducted into the
Philadelphia Business Journal's Class of 2012 "40 Under 40". Now in
its 22nd year, 40 Under 40 recognizes leading young professionals
in the Delaware Valley for outstanding success and contributions to
their community. Honorees were selected from more than 250
nominations and represent some of the region's most entrepreneurial
and influential business leaders.
Kenefic founded Magellan Search Group in 2002, specializing in the
recruitment and placement of Accounting & Finance Professionals
in the tri-state area. Since its inception, Magellan has grown to
employ more than 50 people throughout the Philadelphia Area. In
2009, the company expanded into the Renewable Energy industry, with
the goal of helping companies to achieve their Going Green
Initiatives.
Matthew's entrepreneurial spirit has led the company to many
successes, including being recognized by the Philadelphia 100 as
"One of the Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies in the
Philadelphia Area" three times in the past five years. He proudly
displays Magellan Search Group's two awards for "Best Places to
Work in the Philadelphia Area" from 2008 and 2011. "It is a
privilege to see our friend and founder receive such well-deserved
recognition. Matt is not only an outstanding business leader, but a
great contributor to the community, and a truly devoted husband and
father," said Joseph Nicolas, CEO of Magellan.
This year's winners celebrated their induction at the annual talent
show and reception held at The Crystal Tea Room on Tuesday evening.
Kenefic was accompanied by his wife Tara, their three daughters,
and his parents, as well as Magellan CEO, Joseph Nicolas and
Managing Partner, Steven Mickus. "It's an honor to be
recognized in such an impressive group, but I would not be here
without the continuous efforts of an amazing team we have at
Magellan and the support of my family. I feel that I am receiving
this award for all of us and I am grateful to share this evening
with them," said Kenefic.
Kenefic is an avid member of the non-profit Re-Use Your Shoes, and
also sits on the charity's board. Re-Use Your Shoes is located in
Montgomery County, PA, and is dedicated to providing the
disadvantaged with much needed supplies. Since Matthew's
involvement, the charity has helped thousands of people in shelters
throughout the area. "Matt is a dear friend of many years. He has
made a relentless devotion to strengthening the community through
charitable initiatives, and we at Magellan are committed to
continuing and expanding that legacy," said Magellan Managing
Partner, Steven Mickus.
