NEW YORK (PRWEB)
August 10, 2020
Zeel has been recognized as one of the “Fastest Growing Companies” by the Financial Times in its inaugural FT Americas “Fastest Growing Companies” list. The ranking lists the top 500 companies in the Americas that have achieved the highest growth in revenues between 2015 and 2018, with Zeel ranking #173 on the list.
The FT Americas list notably comes at a challenging and uncertain time for the global economy. “We are truly honored to be recognized by such a venerated news institution as the Financial Times, said Samer Hamadeh, Founder and CEO of Zeel. “The FT not only has a deep understanding of what it takes to build a great business, but also how to meet and overcome the unprecedented challenges posed by this pandemic. We have always worked to balance industry-leading technology with the best possible customer experience. This unusual time has given our team the opportunity to truly innovate. The entrepreneurial spirit is never more evident than during times of crisis, so particularly now, we are proud of this recognition from such a prestigious organization.”
The FT list was compiled with Statista, a research company, and ranks entrants from across the Americas by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue between 2015 and 2018. Additional criteria includes independent companies headquartered in one of 20 American countries with revenue of at least $100,000 generated in 2015, at least $1.5m generated in 2018, revenue growth between 2015 and 2018 that was primarily organic (i.e. “internally” stimulated). The technology sector – which includes Zeel –is led in large partby the US and accounts for a quarter of the overall list.

About the Financial Times & Fastest Growing Companies List
The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading news organizations, recognized internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. It is part of Nikkei, Inc., which provides a broad range of information, news and services for the global community. The FT Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies 2020 is a list of the top 500 companies in the Americas that have achieved the highest growth in revenues between 2015 and 2018. The ranking was created through a complex procedure. Although the search was very extensive, the ranking does not claim to be complete, as some companies did not want to make their figures public or did not participate for other reasons. The project was advertised online and in print, allowing all eligible companies to register via the websites created by Statista and the Financial Times, and additionally promoted through the South American edition of El País. Through research in company databases and other public sources, Statista has identified tens of thousands of companies in the Americas as potential candidates for the FT ranking. These companies were invited to participate in the competition by post, email and telephone. The application phase ran from October 1 2019 to January 31 2020. The submitted revenue figures had to be certified by the CFO, CEO or a member of the executive committee of the company.
