Panzura LLC, a market leader in hybrid multi-cloud data management, has been named to Inc. magazine’s annual Best Workplaces list. Featured in the May/June 2022 issue and on Inc.com, the list results from a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture—whether operating in a physical or virtual environment.
Panzura’s ranking among Inc.’s Best Workplaces for 2022 is a testament to its commitment, driven by its female-led board, to building an equitable environment that values performance, innovation, and compassion.
In less than two years, Panzura has more than doubled its annual recurring revenue (ARR), achieved 4x the growth rate of its competitors, and brought seven products to market. Most recently, the company successfully raised $80 million in Series B funding from Kayne Partners and CIBC Innovation Banking.
Panzura’s CEO, Jill Stelfox, credits the company’s turnaround performance to its people and its work culture:
“Great people build great products, which means company culture becomes a competitive differentiator. That’s why Panzura intentionally sought to create a culture that attracts the best—starting with concrete measures that deliver equity in the workplace and drive performance. Developing a more diverse, gender-balanced talent pool not only makes Panzura a better place to work, but also helps us deliver unparalleled value to customers.”
— Jill Stelfox, Chief Executive Officer at Panzura
After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 475 honorees for 2022. Each nominated company participated in an employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace, which measured management effectiveness, perks, employee development, and overall company culture. The companies' benefits were also audited to determine final scores and rankings.
“Not long ago, the term ‘best workplace’ would have conjured up images of open-office designs with stocked snack fridges. Yet, given the widespread adoption of remote work, the concept of the workplace has shifted. This year, Inc. has recognized the organizations dedicated to redefining and enriching the workplace in the face of the pandemic.”
— Scott Omelianuk, Editor-in-Chief at Inc.
Being named an honoree on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list builds on Panzura’s growing recognition in the tech industry. Notable awards include:
-
Cloud Infrastructure Solution of the Year by the Tech Ascension Awards
-
Best Hybrid Cloud Solution in the Cloud Awards
-
Inclusion in the "100 Coolest Cloud Companies" in the CRN Channel Awards 2021
With this momentum, Panzura continues to attract top-tier talent. The company plans to hire 150 more team members by the end of 2022, with career opportunities in engineering, marketing, HR, finance, and sales.
