InkHouse Named One of the Fastest Growing Companies in Massachusetts

For the fourth year in a row, InkHouse has been named a Pacesetter by the Boston Business Journal, which issues the annual ranking of the state’s fastest growing private companies.

Like the other companies in the room at the awards ceremony last week, we’ve been focused on growth and reliant on our hard working and smart team to help us get there.

For my acceptance speech I was asked to speak for no more than one minute and to include the word “growth.” Growth is a funny concept – too often it gets relegated to size. However, by definition, growth means becoming more complex. Maturing.

At InkHouse, growth has meant cultivating our ability to see potential. In employees, potential can look different when a woman is wearing it instead of a man. In telling great company stories, potential can be hidden beneath a pile of jargon. In our work, potential is lost when hard work is mistaken for good work.

As I said on stage last week, InkHouse’s growth has sprouted from one simple fact: We’re only as good as the work we did yesterday.

So far so good.

We started out 2014 with a bang by opening our San Francisco office and just this week, we hired our 55th employee.

Thanks to the Boston Business Journal for recognizing our efforts, and the 69 other award winners last week. It was such a privilege to represent our curious, smart, dogged, funny, and kind team.

We plan to be back next year!
