Flexential Recognized for 2026 Top Workplaces
Flexential, a prominent provider of secure and adaptable data center solutions, has once again been honored by USA TODAY as one of the Top Workplaces for 2026. Achieving this recognition for the second year in a row is no small feat, especially as it coincides with a remarkable year of growth and accomplishment for the company.
The Top Workplaces program celebrates organizations that cultivate a people-centric culture, where employee feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the work environment. This year, the recognition was determined through confidential surveys conducted by Energage, which evaluated various cultural aspects that contribute to high organizational performance.
In 2025, Flexential experienced significant business expansion, having launched the innovative Flexential Marketplace and acquired prime real estate in Hillsboro, Oregon, where a new data center will be established. Additionally, they gained full ownership of two strategic locations in the Atlanta area and established connectivity to the advanced Bifrost Cable System. The company also released its second annual State of AI Infrastructure Report, showcasing its commitment to innovation and leadership in the market.
Ryan Mallory, CEO of Flexential, expressed pride in the company's achievements, stating that the growth and progress are rooted in a workforce that values their contributions and takes pride in their efforts. "We expanded high-density capacity, signed more business than ever before, are investing $1 billion in new infrastructure, and our employees truly value working here," he said.
Flexential's commitment to its people is evident through its recent leadership appointments, including the promotion of Mallory to CEO, hiring Greg Ogle as Chief Information Officer, Marilyn Tyfting as Chief People Officer, and other key roles to enhance its operational effectiveness. This collaborative approach has resulted in the signing of more than 140 new customers and surpassing the 900-employee mark, solidifying its place as a leader in the industry.
Marilyn Tyfting highlighted the essence of the workplace environment at Flexential: "You can measure engagement with a survey, but you can feel it when a team solves a problem nobody asked them to solve. That kind of initiative comes from employees who respect the people beside them and care about each other's success."
Flexential has a robust infrastructure network, operating over 40 data centers with a capacity of 360 MW across 18 U.S. markets. It has ongoing construction projects in various states, including Parker, Colorado, Hillsboro, Oregon, and Norcross, Georgia.
