Bellevue, WA, October 2026
Protingent has been named the 27th fastest-growing private company in Washington by the Puget Sound Business Journal. This is the ninth time Protingent has earned a place on the list, and its highest ranking since 2005!
The PSBJ Fastest-Growing Private Companies program recognizes Washington businesses that are rising to the top of their industries. To qualify, companies must be privately held and headquartered in Washington, show overall annual growth, and have their CPA verify their net operating revenues with the Puget Sound Business Journal.
“Moving from #88 last year to #27 this year reflects the trust our clients place in us and the work our team does every day,” said Brent Conway, Co-President of Protingent. “As an employee-owned company, our growth belongs to everyone here. I’m proud of what our people have built, and I’m grateful to the engineers, technologists, and partners who make it possible.” Added John Marsh, Co- President. Conway and Marsh, both who have been with the technical staffing firm for over 20 years attribute the growth and success to treating people right and thinking long term when building customer relationships. “We are in the people business”.
