Perficient Rings Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell

From ambitious startup to formidable force, Perficient has come a long way in the past 20 years, and our performance and momentum have never been stronger.

We held our initial public offering on July 29, 1999 – at the time with only 19 employees. On May 22, our executive team celebrated our 20th year on Nasdaq with a return trip to Times Square to ring the Nasdaq Closing Bell. With more than 3,500 colleagues around the world, more than half a billion dollars in revenue, and strong relationships with Global 2000 and Fortune 1000 customers, the ceremony marked a significant milestone.

“There’s much to celebrate,” said Perficient Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Davis before ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell. “And the best news is, we’re just getting started.”

Each of you have made incredible contributions to our business. I want to thank our more than 3,500 colleagues around the world. You are the reason we succeed. I also want to thank the equity analysts that cover our firm and the investors who demonstrate faith in our long-term growth story. And, of course, I want to thank the Nasdaq for our partnership.”

Patrick Schwierking, vice president, Sales and North America East Region, at Perficient, also spoke to our achievements.

“As a leadership team, we’re fired up to be here today celebrating 20 years of achievement with great prospects ahead,” Schwierking said. “We’re helping established brands and large tech companies deliver compelling front-end digital experiences that drive meaningful results in the form of attracting, converting and retaining clients via all digital channels.
