Clarkston Consulting Honored With Fast 50 Award

Market Wire, December, 2007

Clarkston Consulting, a global management and technology consulting firm, announced that the company was recently recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in the Triangle at Triangle Business Journal's annual Fast 50 Awards ceremony on November 1, 2007.

"We are honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in the Triangle area," said Tom Finegan, Clarkston's Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. "Our ethic of brilliant client service differentiates our firm in a crowded field. There is substantial demand for a trusted set of business advisors that unselfishly provide strategic direction to forward thinking enterprises."

The Durham-based Clarkston Consulting ranked 42 on the list of 50. The rankings were determined by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who evaluated locally headquartered private companies based on a formula that takes into account both dollar growth and percentage rate of growth over a three-year period. To be considered, companies were required to have had at least $3 million in revenue in 2006.

"Each of the Fast 50 companies has contributed a great deal to the Triangle community," says Charlene Grunwaldt, Triangle Business Journal publisher. "They are dynamic businesses representing diverse industries. The stories of their successes are very compelling."

Clarkston Consulting and the other 49 winning companies are profiled in an in-depth special Fast 50 Awards section in Triangle Business Journal's November 2 edition.
