San Diego, CA, United States, 08/12/2009 – Based on remarkable growth, measured at 232.8% over 3 years, SGIS ranked No. 1,371 on the list. This is the third consecutive year SGIS has ranked on the list.
“We are honored to have been chosen for the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the third year in a row,” said SGIS CEO Hany Girgis. “SGIS has the best team in the industry. We are grateful to all our employees for their hard work and dedication and to our customers for their loyalty. We would not be where we are today without them.”
SGIS CEO Hany Girgis founded the company from his garage in June 2002. He knew the company would compete with large, well-established competitors and identified the opportunity to compete as a small business. Due to the tremendous efforts of Girgis and his team, SGIS graduated from the Small Business revenue size standard in 2008 – a significant milestone in the company’s history. This has transitioned SGIS from a small start-up to a multi-million dollar company poised to compete with other medium and large-sized defense contractors. SGIS currently has 14 offices nationwide, with corporate headquarters located in San Diego, California.
