We're proud to share that Insight Experience has been named to the 2026 Inc. Regionals: Northeast list for the second consecutive year, recognizing the fastest-growing private companies across the region. As we celebrate our 25th year, this back-to-back recognition is especially meaningful. It's a reflection of the trust our clients have placed in us, the commitment of our team, and the enduring relevance of our work helping leaders grow.
About the Inc. Regionals: Northeast
The Inc. Regionals: Northeast list spotlights the most dynamic privately held companies across nine states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Now in its sixth annual edition, the list provides a data-driven look at independent businesses driving growth across the region. Between 2022 and 2024, the companies on this year's list achieved a median growth rate of 73 percent, collectively adding 6,779 jobs and $2.3 billion to the regional economy.
"The honorees on this year's Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them. Amid inflation, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing economic uncertainty, they didn't just persevere — they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions," said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.
What This Recognition Means to Us
"This recognition is meaningful not just because of the growth it represents, but because of how that growth has been achieved," said Karen Maxwell Powell, President of Insight Experience. "For 25 years, our focus has been on helping leaders navigate complexity, make better decisions, and drive real business outcomes. To be recognized again by Inc. is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of a team that cares deeply about the impact of our work.”
Twenty-five years is a milestone we don't take lightly. Since our founding, we've grown from a New England-based leadership development firm into a global provider of business simulations and experiential learning programs, while staying true to our roots in the Northeast. The talent, energy, and research available in this region have always propelled our growth, and being recognized as one of its fastest-growing companies for the second year in a row is a distinction we're proud to carry.

Over the past 25 years, we've partnered with Fortune 1000 organizations across industries to create learning experiences that are immersive, data-driven, and transformative.
