Honored as One of the Fastest Growing Companies in North America

Washington, DC, November 16, 2016 — Optoro®, the leading platform for returned and excess inventory, today announced it has been named to Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America, for the fourth year in a row. As the need for Optoro’s services continues to grow, Optoro’s chief executive officer Tobin Moore credits the company’s ability to provide scalable solutions as the key contributor to the company’s 276% revenue growth.

“We’re honored to be recognized again by Deloitte as one of the fastest growing technology companies in the U.S.,” said Moore. “This is a strong growth period for Optoro. In the last year, we saw increased demand for our software and expanded into a new office in Washington, D.C.’s Metro Center neighborhood. We look forward to continuing to expand as more retailers learn the benefits of optimized reverse logistics.”


“Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. “This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls.”  

“This year’s Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors.”
