2023 Georgia Fast 40 - Program Guide

CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME

WELCOME TO THE 2023 GEORGIA FAST 40 AWARDS CELEBRATION!

Dear 2023 Honorees and Attendees:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ACG Atlanta, welcome and thank you for attending the 2023 Georgia Fast 40 Awards Celebration. I sincerely hope that you will both enjoy the evening and leave inspired with new and meaningful business connections. Please make sure to take advantage of all the great company content online. There are QR codes throughout to access our Vimeo page.

ACG Atlanta’s mission is Driving Middle-Market Growth® and tonight’s event is a key element to fulfill that mission. We are proud to present this year’s Awards to 40 (well 45) of Georgia’s most deserving companies. Congratulations to each of our Honorees.

The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) comprises over 15,000 stakeholders, represented by 61 chapters and networks worldwide. Members include leaders in corporations and capital markets who recognize the benefits of exchanging ideas about corporate growth and value-building strategies within an influential community of executives growing public and private companies worldwide.

Our Atlanta National Chapter continues to receive recognition as a top ACG chapter. In addition to the Georgia Fast 40 and our signature event, M&A South, held each February, we hold various informative evening and breakfast networking events where local CEOs and deal-making experts connect and discuss their business growth strategies.

Upcoming events include:

• ACG will hold its second event this year at Truist Park for an Atlanta Braves Game Summer Social on Wednesday, August 16th vs the Yankees. We have found these events in dedicated spaces (Hank Aaron Terrace) provide a great venue for taking in a game while networking with middle market executives and deal advisors.

• On August 22nd, we will host the Taste of ACG

Atlanta, which is a return to the Stave Room and expansion of the longstanding ACG Atlanta Wine Tasting. It is a great social and networking event for private equity groups, lenders, and other sources of capital from across the country. This year, the event will be the evening before the PGA Tour Championship tees off at the famed East Lake.

• This Fall, we will host several content programs including a panel focusing on Talent. This will be the fourth program of our “Access to” DEI series this year. Please be on the lookout for date and location announcements. Our program focus on DEI in the middle market started earlier this year with the creation of our DEI pledge for ACG Atlanta members and guests. Please visit our website to learn more.

• And, as mentioned, February 5th-7th, 2024, we present the Southeast’s largest assemblage of leading private equity sponsors, lenders, and other sources of capital, and investment banks at our annual event, M&A South. Each of these events, combined with the ACG Atlanta Women’s Forum, Emerging Leaders, Corporate Development, and C-Suite roundtables provide our members with additional networking opportunities and ways to give back to the Atlanta community. If you are not already a member, I invite you to join.

Finally, thank you to this year’s Georgia Fast 40 Event Chairman, Brooks Morris of CRESA. Brooks and his outstanding committee have planned another amazing evening for us.

Very truly yours,

Steve Tye Managing Director, Croft & Bender Chairman, ACG Atlanta

CHAIR’S WELCOME CHAIR’S WELCOME

TO OUR 2023 HONOREES AND ATTENDEES:

ACG Atlanta is proud to present this year’s Fast 40 Awards to Georgia’s fastest-growing middlemarket companies! The Georgia Fast 40 Honoree companies have proven sustained growth in both revenue and overall employment. The accomplishments of each of the 2023 Georgia Fast 40 honorees are remarkable, and their collective results are extraordinary. This year’s lower and upper-category honorees represent nearly 10,000 new jobs and over $2.6B in revenue growth over the last three years. We are also delighted to honor the 2023 class of Higher Middle Market companies.

Each of these companies has its own unique story that propelled its growth. We gained invaluable insights into these trailblazing companies and captured the highlights on video which can be found via the QR Code in this booklet. A common thread among each of them is their dedication to their teams, customers, and communities. I can assure you that tonight you are in the presence of Georgia’s elite leaders and teams.

I would like to thank all the members of the 2023 Georgia Fast 40 committee, and all our generous sponsors. Finally, we would like to thank each of you, our ACG members, and our supporters. You are what makes ACG Atlanta the premier organization focusing on the growth and success of Georgia’s business community. We hope you enjoy your evening and look forward to sharing this great event with you.
