San Francisco, CA — September 9, 2024 – Sounding Board, the leader transformation company, announced today it has been named to Will Reed’s Top 100, a curated list of one hundred emerging tech companies who are building values-driven cultures where employees and customers thrive.
Will Reed, a leading go-to-market executive search firm, in conjunction with PitchBook, a private market database, releases Will Reed’s Top 100 every September, this year honoring Series A and Series B B2B tech companies who are actively building cultures rooted in purpose, growth, belonging and care.
“Will Reed’s Top 100 isn’t a celebration of cushy benefits,” said Paige Robinson, Founder & CEO of Will Reed. “It’s a celebration of the startup ethos; honoring emerging companies who are on the frontlines, in real-time, navigating what it means to build and lead a unified team in the face of constant adversity.”
“From the beginning, my co-founder Lori Mazan and I understood our success relied upon building a coaching culture from within,” said Christine Tao, co-founder and CEO of Sounding Board. “The same values we’ve set for ourselves — owning impact, bringing curiosity, and taking risks — are values and capabilities our coaches help our clients to develop. We’re thrilled for Sounding Board and our team to be recognized through Will Reed’s Top 100.”
“I’m proud to know the companies on Will Reed’s Top 100,” said Beth Gentile, Partner of Will Reed. “As an executive search firm, we know candidates always want the ‘real scoop’ on a company’s culture. The winners on this year’s list have demonstrated a real commitment to building and continually investing in a company culture that sets them and their employees up for success.”
