Atlanta, GA – July 2024 – The Atlanta National Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth® (ACG), a global professional organization dedicated to Driving Middle Market Growth®, has announced the 2024 Georgia Fast 40. This prestigious recognition celebrates Georgia’s top 40 fastest-growing middle market companies. Among the honorees is Watershed Geo, a company specializing in technical solutions for civil, environmental, and energy infrastructure.
“The companies being honored this year exemplify ACG’s focus on driving middle market growth and demonstrate the strength and significance of this sector in Georgia,” said Meg Williams, Executive Director of the Association for Corporate Growth’s Atlanta chapter.
Applicants underwent a rigorous evaluation process, submitting verifiable records of three years of revenue and employment growth, verified by Cherry Bekaert LLP, a national accounting firm and founding Diamond sponsor. An ACG Selection Committee reviewed each application and conducted interviews with all qualified candidates. The recognized companies, headquartered in Georgia, represent diverse industries such as logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services.
Watershed Geo, a two-time honoree, is being recognized for its commitment to improving infrastructure across many different markets and applications such as landfills and coal combustion impoundments, greenfields, mining sites, levees, and dams. The award reiterates Watershed’s commitment to innovate and engineer solutions to plaguing industry issues for clients that require improved technology to build and correct critical infrastructure.
Mike Ayers, CEO of Watershed Geo, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, “We are honored to have been selected a second time by the ACG.” He continued, “I am extremely proud of our team and what we have accomplished collectively. We surpassed many of our goals in 2023, including securing more valuable IP, taking our footprint globally and successfully implementing a large-scale, 300-acre project that showcases our innovative solar technology that will continue to lead change in the industries we serve. Poised for exponential growth, Watershed Geo technologies provide an exciting new opportunity for large utilities, government agencies and global industries to take a more sustainable approach to their sites.
