Menlo Innovations isn't just an Ann Arbor firm anymore. It's an Ann Arbor and a Chicago business, now that the software design firm has opened a Windy City sales office - with a staff of one. For now.
"I would almost call it a sales outpost at the moment," says Rick Sheridan, CEO of Menlo Innovations.
That's on top of the staff of 60, six interns and a gaggle of independent contractors who work for Menlo Innovations' downtown Ann Arbor headquarters today. That number is up from about 40 people just a year ago. The company also hopes to add another 15 people in 2009.
Menlo Innovations has been able to achieve this growth thanks to a strong financial performance in 2008. Revenues are up 40 percent last year and are expected to grow at the same rate this year.
The Chicago office is expected to help boost Menlo Innovations' client list (and thus revenues) this year. Lauren Taylor Sheridan, a graduate of Indiana University, is helping launch the Chicago office.
