Persistent Systems, LLC (“Persistent”), a leader in advanced networking solutions, announced today that it has been recognized by Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, as one of the fastest growing companies in the Northeast on its Inc. Regionals list.

Inc. Regionals: Northeast is an extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, evaluating the fastest growing companies in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Awardees are selected based on growth in revenue from 2021 to 2023.

“As global tensions rise, so does the demand for secure, resilient networking solutions that empower armed forces,” said George Kythreotis, Director of Human Resources at Persistent. “To meet this demand, we have expanded our team by 72% in the past four years while maintaining a positive work culture built on honesty, integrity, and a passion for excellence.”

In 2024, Persistent was recognized on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list, a prerequisite for Inc. Regionals. That same year, Persistent was named a Great Place to Work® for the second consecutive year and re-certified as a HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient by the U.S. Department of Labor.

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list are true trailblazers, driving economic growth in their respective regions, industries, and beyond. This list celebrates their achievements and tells the stories of remarkable companies that are fueling growth and adding jobs in local economies throughout the country,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.

Persistent ranked 76th out of 154 companies in the Northeast, who collectively contributed 9,114 jobs and $6.7 billion to the economy. This elite list includes U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit companies from one of the country’s largest economic regions.

“We are honored to receive this recognition as we continue our mission to provide life-saving communications technology to forces worldwide,” Kythreotis added.

With multiple locations around the U.S., Persistent is actively expanding its workforce to meet increasing demand. The company currently has various open positions in Engineering, Business Operations, Field Services, and Sales.
