OptConnect, a longtime leader in fully managed wireless services, today announced that it has been named to MountainWest Capital Network’s 2022 Utah 100 list, a list of the fastest-growing companies in Utah. OptConnect ranked no. 76 out of 100 companies and was honored at the 28th annual Utah 100 Awards program, held at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Recipients of the Utah 100 were chosen by the percentage of revenue increase of each company between 2017 and 2021.
This is OptConnect’s eighth year on the list.
“We are immensely proud of our growth over the past 5 years and are on track to continue to grow and scale,” said Chris Baird, CEO of OptConnect. “Through all this growth, our focus has remained the same. We are focused on making sure that we listen to our customers, provide the most reliable fully managed wireless solutions possible, and that we stay ready to react quickly to the future needs of our customers as they continue to develop and engineer incredible products that need connectivity to function. None of which would be possible without our incredible employees.”
MWCN’s exclusive awards program brings together investors, entrepreneurs and professional service providers while recognizing Utah’s 100 fastest-growing companies and the economic and business impact they bring to the state. In addition to recognizing the Utah 100 list, MWCN recognizes the Top Revenue-growth companies, as well as the Emerging Elite—the state’s top startups just breaking into the scene.
“We congratulate all of this year’s Utah 100 companies for building outstanding businesses and making strong contributions to Utah’s economy,” said Jason Roberts, Chairman of the MWCN Utah 100 committee. “These companies further advance Utah’s standing as an excellent place to do business.”
