Recognition honors excellence in workplace culture, leadership, corporate and social responsibility, customer opinion, and innovation
CHANDLER, Ariz. – September 18, 2026 — KeenStack, a premier professional services consulting firm that helps companies unlock the full potential of ServiceNow, today announces its selection as one of Arizona’s Most Admired Companies for 2026 by Az Business magazine and BestCompaniesAZ.
Arizona’s Most Admired Companies are selected through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by a panel of business professionals from across the state. Honorees are chosen based on demonstrated excellence in five key areas: workplace culture, leadership excellence, corporate and social responsibility, customer opinion, and innovation.
“From the beginning, I’ve been intentional about building a company where our people and our culture come first,” said Thiru Thangarathinam, Founder and CEO of KeenStack. “This recognition is a reflection of that vision, and it belongs to every person on our team who lives it out every day.”
“What makes Arizona’s Most Admired Companies so special is that honorees must demonstrate excellence across all five pillars of business success,” said Denise Gredler, Founder and CEO of BestCompaniesAZ and Co-founder of the Arizona’s Most Admired Companies program. “We’re proud to celebrate companies that are not only great places to work, but are making a meaningful impact on their customers, communities and the state of Arizona.”
Amy Lindsey, VP and Publisher at Az Business magazine, added, “The qualities recognized by the Arizona’s Most Admired Companies program are the very characteristics that build great companies. The organizations honored with this award truly represent the best of the best in Arizona’s business landscape.”
That same focus on people shows up in how KeenStack operates every day. Authenticity, empathy, growth, and resourcefulness aren’t values on a wall. They’re how the team treats each other, how it works with clients, and how it tackles complex problems along the way.
Philanthropy has been part of KeenStack’s business since day one, and the company supports several Arizona nonprofits through fundraising, sponsorships, and employee volunteer efforts.
“Being a good business and being a good neighbor have never felt like separate goals to me,” Thangarathinam said. “Giving back isn’t something we do on the side. It’s part of who we are.”
KeenStack builds on this momentum in 2026 by growing its team, expanding client partnerships, and investing further in the communities it serves.
