Jack Dorsey, co-founder of not one, but two, billion dollar start-ups – Twitter (of course) and the quite awesome payment processing reader, Square, has won countless awards for his ingenuity.

We can now add another accolade to this undoubtedly extensive list. And although he hasn’t won this award before, Dorsey just generally wins in life it seems – hence the “Wins Again” headline.

Announced today via Tweet (of course), we learned that Dorsey has been named Cannes Lions’ Media Person of the Year:

And if you want to attend, it is being held from June 17 – 23 in Cannes, France.
