Pax8, the global AI and cloud marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has been named one of the Best Managed Companies in the United States for 2026 for the fourth consecutive year. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding privately held U.S. companies.
Pax8 was also honored with the 2026 Gold Honoree distinction, signifying its fourth straight year among the Best Managed Companies. This recognition highlights the company’s sustained performance and its focus on continuous growth and development.
AI and scalability at the core
“As AI accelerates the pace of business, success comes down to how quickly organizations can turn intelligence into action by embedding it into everyday work. At Pax8, we’re not only adding intelligence to our marketplace, we’re embedding it throughout our own operations,” said Scott Chasin, CEO of Pax8.
He added:
“We’re rethinking how we build and scale internally while helping our partners deliver repeatable, intelligent outcomes for SMBs. With the SMB segment spending roughly $777 billion a year on IT services, the opportunities ahead for our community are immense. Being recognized as a Best Managed Company for the fourth consecutive year and receiving the Gold Honoree award underscores the strength of our ecosystem and the consistency of our execution.”
Focus on strategy, culture and growth
Nominees for the 2026 program were privately held U.S. companies that demonstrated strong results in strategic planning and execution, employee engagement, financial performance and corporate governance.
This year’s honorees have made substantial investments in digital transformation and AI capabilities while showing resilience and sustainable growth in a rapidly changing market. These organizations build their businesses on trust, innovation and long-term relationships with customers and employees.
Pax8 was evaluated and selected by a panel of independent judges who assessed company performance across four key areas:
• Strategy
• Ability to execute
• Corporate culture
• Governance and financial performance
The company now joins a global network of organizations from more than 46 countries that have been recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
