Chicago-based AWS Premier Tier Services Partner earns back-to-back recognition on Crain's Best Places to Work list, reinforcing a culture built to sustain the growth that earned four consecutive Fast 50 rankings.

CHICAGO, IL, September 10, 2026 -- UTurn Data Solutions, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner specializing in Cloud, Data, and AI, today announced that it has been ranked No. 33 on Crain’s 2026 Best Places to Work in Chicago list. This is UTurn’s second consecutive appearance on the list, following its No. 7 ranking in 2025.

The recognition arrives three months after UTurn earned its fourth consecutive Crain’s Fast 50 ranking and Legacy Circle honor for sustained five-year revenue growth. Together, the two recognitions reflect a company where culture and growth reinforce each other.  

“Being recognized for growth and company culture in the same year, multiple years in a row is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Adam Dillman, Founder and CEO. “But the awards are not the finish line. They reinforce our commitment to building a company where people can do the best work of their careers, and where that work actually changes how our clients operate.”

Crain’s Best Places to Work rankings are driven largely by confidential employee feedback, giving the recognition particular meaning for UTurn’s leadership. The award reflects the daily experience employees have helped create: a culture grounded in trust and respect, continuous learning, shared accountability and genuine connection.

“Fast growth is easy to celebrate. Building a company where talented people feel trusted, challenged and connected is harder - and it matters even more,” said Ross Kerr, Chief Operating Officer at UTurn Data Solutions. “Being recognized by our employees for a second consecutive year tells us that the way we are growing is working. When people have room to learn, the support of teammates they respect, and a clear connection to the impact they create, they do extraordinary work for our customers.”

UTurn's investment in its team extends beyond the operating model. The company has built internal capabilities including an AI Center of Excellence and a structured onboarding program for new employees. After more than a decade of building on AWS, the depth of that partnership continues to compound: deeper access to emerging technologies, co-development resources, and programs that keep UTurn's team operating at the forefront of cloud and AI year after year.

UTurn's investment in its team extends beyond the operating model. The company has built internal programs designed to support the whole employee, from an AI Center of Excellence that sharpens technical skills to UThrive, UTurn's employee growth and wellness initiative. More than a decade of building on AWS compounds that investment: UTurn's employees work at the leading edge of cloud and AI, with direct access to emerging services and co-development resources that most firms cannot offer. That combination of personal investment and technical depth is not just a business advantage. It is a reason to stay.
