EK has been included on the Inc. 5000, the list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, for the last five years as well, demonstrating stewardship of both performance and culture. 

“It’s a wonderful feeling to know the team is happy, feels supported, and is growing,” said EK CEO Zach Wahl. “We put a massive amount of time and energy into making that the reality, and we’re thrilled to see it come to fruition.”

“There is nothing more rewarding than being recognized as one of the best companies to work for, where ‘going to work’ means spending the day with a group of kind and talented individuals who share the feeling and are redefining the future of work,” added Lulit Tesfaye, Vice President of Knowledge and Data Services.

In addition to being listed as one of the country’s fastest growing companies, EK was also included again this year on Inc’s list of the best workplaces in the country.

“Our fourth consecutive year on this list is a great achievement for EK, and one that belongs to each member of our growing team” said Zach Wahl, CEO of EK. “What is most important to me is that we’ve successfully sustained our culture of kindness and collaboration as we’ve grown.”
