As Other Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Companies Downsize, AIIR Makes the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies

As other executive coaching and leadership development companies announce layoffs, AIIR Consulting made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for the fifth year in a row.

The Inc. 5000 is a prestigious annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Facebook, Microsoft, Patagonia, and other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. AIIR ranked No. 3088.

“So many companies experience astronomical growth one year, then come back to Earth the next,” said AIIR Founder and CEO Dr. Jonathan Kirschner. “That AIIR has earned a place on the Inc. 5,000 for five years in a row is a testament to the impact we create for our clients, our community, and the industry as a whole.”

“Since day one, we have pushed the boundaries of the executive coaching, team effectiveness, and leadership development industries. Today, we stand out in our industry as the only company that combines an unparalleled, science-based methodology, technology, and unmatched expertise to help our clients build better leaders, better teams, better organizations, and a better future.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238%.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
