“It’s a huge honor for WillowTree to make the Inc. 5000 list for the fifth year in a row,” said Tobias Dengel, CEO of WillowTree. “We’ve built one of the most talented teams of mobile app developers and UX designers in the industry and couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve produced in partnership with our clients like GE, Johnson & Johnson, Time Warner, and Regal Cinemas to name a few. WillowTree’s continual growth is not only a testament to the increasing demand for app development services across the enterprise, media and entertainment, retail, and healthcare industries, but also the result of our steadfast commitment to upholding the incredible company culture we’ve created here at WillowTree, and our ability to consistently deliver high-quality products to our clients.”
“We’d like to thank our team who continuously deliver the best work for our partners and clients year after year," said Michael Prichard, CTO and Founder of WillowTree. "It is their hard work and consistent effort to keep ahead of the trends and technology that matters when it comes to the success of our clients and partners, and it's what puts WillowTree on the Inc. 5000 list for the fifth year in a row. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of this team and in this industry, especially as more and more companies across sectors recognize the extraordinary outcomes apps and connected devices afford in terms of connecting with workforces and customers in new, meaningful, and value-adding ways.”
“For 35 years, Inc. has welcomed the fastest-growing private companies in America into a very exclusive club,” said Inc.
