Washington, DC | Baltimore, MD – August 13, 2025 – Inc., For the eighth time, CRG, a trusted provider of mission-focused professional services for the federal government, has earned a place on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This milestone highlights CRG’s enduring growth and critical role in delivering strategic planning, acquisition support, performance improvement, and innovation across civilian and defense agencies. It’s a testament to both the commitment of CRG’s team and the growing demand for agile, results-driven support aligned with national priorities.
“In today’s federal landscape, agencies don’t have the time for disconnected support or generic solutions,” said Dina DiPalo, CEO of CRG. “They need partners who understand the mission, show up with the right expertise, and deliver results that matter. That’s what we’ve built at CRG, a team that’s agile, deeply experienced, and committed to helping our customers solve real problems with purpose. We’re proud of this milestone.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552%. Additionally, those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
