Program Founded by Emory University and Innovations Publishing To Honor Exceptional Privately-Held Companies
ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) May 21, 2005
Vigilar, Inc., the leading information security consulting firm, today announced it has been selected to participate in the GBS Eagles program, the SoutheastÂ’s premier forum for honoring exceptional private companies and discussing growth issues faced by these emerging companies. The GBS Eagles program was recently launched by the Center for Entrepreneurship and Corporate Growth (CECG) at EmoryÂ’s Goizueta Business School (GBS) and Innovations Publishing. The inaugural GBS Eagles Conference will take place on Wednesday, May 11, 2005.
Palaniswamy (Raj) Rajan, Vigilar’s President and CEO, commented, “Receiving recognition by a program that selects companies based upon demonstrated leadership and sustainable growth is truly a testament to our hardworking employees who over the past four years have made Vigilar the go-to company for information security. The solid business base we have established will enable us to continue steady organic growth and expand into new markets over the next year.”
In addition to being privately-held, companies which are named GBS Eagles must have:
• Generated more than $3 million in revenue during the last twelve months;
• Exhibited annual revenue growth in excess of 20 percent compounded over the past three years or experienced headcount growth in excess of 25 percent compounded over the past three years.
“The mission of the GBS Eagles program is to understand the critical issues a high-growth company faces throughout its business lifecycle and to identify the successful processes implemented to address these issues,” said Edward Hess, executive director of the CECG. “The companies recognized as GBS Eagles have realized incredible success in the face of these very issues. Their participation in the GBS Eagles program will provide other early-stage companies with valuable information to scale with high growth.”
