“The Top 40 companies are shining examples of what makes Georgia a
hotbed for innovation in technology,” said Tino Mantella, president &

innovation and in Georgia’s technology community. These are the types of
companies that will help Georgia become recognized as one of the top
states in the nation for technology.”

past few years. We were very impressed by the quality and breadth of
technology companies that applied,” said Dennis Zakas, a partner and
founder of Zakas & Leonard, LLP, Chair of Group Office Buys, LLC, and

choose the Top 40 because of the large number of deserving companies. We
expect great things from our winners.”
