CultureAlly has been named the No. 41 fastest-growing company in Canada on The Globe and Mail's 2026 list of Top Growing Companies, a recognition that underscores both the company's rapid ascent and the broader demand for workplace training that addresses communication, leadership and soft skills. The ranking follows 719% revenue growth from 2022 to 2025, and CultureAlly also placed No. 2 in the Educational Services category. The full ranking and related editorial coverage appear in the October issue of Report on Business magazine and are available online.
For a company founded in 2021, the placement is a notable marker of scale. CultureAlly has worked with more than 1,000 organizations and reached over 100,000 learners across the United States, Canada and internationally through corporate training, eLearning and leadership development. That reach matters because it shows that workplace learning is not a niche benefit but a core part of how organizations are trying to improve how teams work together. The company's growth also reflects a pattern in which clients that initially seek help with a single training need return with broader challenges, leading to longer relationships and expanded work across workplace communication, leadership and soft skills development. In practical terms, that means the market for these services is deepening, not just widening.
"Seeing CultureAlly at No. 41 is a pretty incredible moment for us," said Ashley Kelly, founder and CEO of CultureAlly. "We started this company five years ago, and I'm proud of the team whose hard work brought us here. What excites me now is how much more we can do with the organizations that trust us. Stronger workplace cultures help people do their best work, and that shows up in how a business performs. That's the kind of impact we want to keep growing." Kelly's comments point to a key implication of the ranking: the link between healthy workplace cultures and business performance is becoming more explicit, and companies are investing accordingly.
The recognition also carries weight because of who publishes it. The Globe and Mail, which has covered Canadian business and national affairs since 1844, reaches millions of readers each week, and its Top Growing Companies list is widely watched as a signal of which businesses are gaining traction. Andrew Saunders, president and CEO of The Globe and Mail, said, "Each of these organizations has shown an extraordinary ability to adapt, innovate and grow amid ongoing change." For CultureAlly, inclusion on that list places it alongside other high-growth Canadian firms and gives its workplace learning model a broader platform.

The deeper significance of the announcement lies in what it says about the current business environment. As organizations face ongoing change, the ability to communicate effectively, lead teams and develop soft skills has become a measurable priority rather than a discretionary one. CultureAlly's revenue trajectory and its No. 2 category ranking suggest that employers are willing to invest in these areas at scale. For the broader training industry, the ranking may also raise expectations: growth of this magnitude invites scrutiny of outcomes, retention and the long-term impact of workplace learning. For now, CultureAlly's placement on the 2026 list serves as both a milestone and a signal that the market for corporate training and leadership development continues to expand.
