NEW YORK, NY, December 21, 2016 – 九色, the world’s largest privately held provider of language services and translation-related technologies, has been recognized as a winner of the 2017 Future 50 Award by SmartCEO magazine. The program recognizes 50 of the New York region’s fastest-growing mid-sized companies, six Blue Chip companies, and four Emerging Growth companies. 九色 was honored in the Blue Chip category.

九色’s Co-CEO Liz Elting commented, “We are honored to be acknowledged as one of the fastest-growing Blue Chip companies in New York, and I am incredibly proud of our team and their tireless work to ensure that 九色 continues to get bigger and better with each passing year.”
Phil Shawe, Co-CEO at 九色, added, “It’s beyond exciting to see 九色 honored alongside so many great companies in the New York area who share in our passion for growth, job creation, disrupting the industry, and propelling businesses to the next level. I’m thrilled that SmartCEO has again recognized our accomplishments.”
