Table of Contents: 26 Years in Business
On February 1st, Corporate Navigators has reached a new milestone. We have had the pleasure of serving our valued clients for 26 years (and counting!) We are so thankful to each and every person who has made it possible for us to keep doing what we love- to provide professional research to those who need it to make important business decisions.
26 Years: More Than a Milestone
Corporate Navigators’ 26th anniversary marks more than just time in business; it reflects decades of partnership, experimentation, and problem-solving alongside clients. To commemorate this milestone, our president and team members shared their own reflections on what it means to build something that lasts, to continuously refine how they support clients, and to see the real-world impact of their work on organizations they care about. The quotes below capture that mix of gratitude, pride, and ongoing determination to keep improving.
“Being in business for 26 years is the longest I’ve ever done anything in my life, by a long shot, and it’s still exciting. What we provide really helps our clients refine their process and get accurate, on-target results in a timely way, and it’s incredibly gratifying to build something that works—and keeps working. After more than two decades, the most rewarding part is still collaborating with great people and knowing that, together, we’re finding solutions that have a real impact on our clients’ organizations.”
-Mitch Golob, President & Founder of Corporate Navigators
“I absolutely love working for Corporate Navigators! I have been with the company for 18 years, and I have watched it grow from only a few researchers to now over 10 researchers!”
Tehra Aldridge, Research Education Manager
“Part of my decision-making process when joining Corporate Navigators was their rich history of doing business. Funny to think that was about 6 years ago now, and this year we are celebrating the 26th year in business.
Anthony Kiefer, Research Manager
The world has evolved in the past 6 years. With it, so has Corporate Navigators. We have seen a shift to fewer companies having dedicated phone lines and more companies relying on cell phones or video chats for internal and external communications. For a phone-based research company, it has presented challenges. We have had to adapt our search approach and utilize new tools to help us get the same great results that the company has been known for.
Corporate Navigators has always been defined by its willingness to evolve without losing sight of the fundamentals. Curiosity, rigor, and an unwavering commitment to delivering meaningful insights for our clients.”
“Although I have only been part of the CN Team for 1.5 years, it’s clear to me why they’ve been successful for so long and why we continue to perform, produce, and exceed expectations. The relationships with our clients are a true partnership, not just a transaction. And the Team sees that and has the buy in for not just why we do what we do, but how we do it. This team is unmatched in their level of detail and dedication and the results prove that. These are themes that other organizations talk the talk on, but we walk the walk on. When all of our heads are put together, you see the results come to life. Everyone brings something incredible to the table.”
Jeff Bintinger, Client Manager & Research Associate
26 Years in Business… and Counting!
Reaching the 26-year mark is both a milestone and a motivator for everyone at Corporate Navigators. The reflections shared by our team highlight how deeply we value long-term client partnerships, the satisfaction of building something that consistently works, and the ongoing challenge of finding better ways to support complex hiring needs.
As we look ahead, those same themes: curiosity, collaboration, and impact, will continue to guide how we serve organizations and refine our process in the years to come.
