Three Nemean leaders reflect on the people, purpose, and discipline driving five consecutive years of Inc. 5000 recognition

Nemean Solutions, LLC has earned a place on the Inc. 5000 for the fifth consecutive year, ranking No. 1,065 on the 2026 list following 329% three-year growth. As Nemean celebrates the milestone, the company is turning the spotlight toward the people behind it—its workforce, known collectively as the Pride.

Among those contributing to that success are Danielle “Dani” Tanner, Growth Strategy Manager; Ed O’Donnell, Director of Pricing; and Paige Perillard, Senior Corporate Recruiter. Together, their roles represent three essential elements of Nemean’s continued growth: identifying opportunity, competing intelligently, and bringing talented people into the Pride to deliver the mission.

“Working in Growth at Nemean has challenged me, stretched me, and made this year one of the most rewarding of my career,” said Tanner. “What makes our growth especially meaningful is that it has never belonged to a select few in the company…it’s something our entire team takes part in. There is a genuine commitment across Nemean to the success of every mission we take on.”

For O’Donnell, Nemean’s growth is rooted in pairing competitive discipline with an unwavering focus on delivering value to the customer.

“I joined Nemean Solutions, a fast growing startup, to develop reasonable contract pricing to deliver superior solutions for Government customers,” said O’Donnell. “Nemean has tremendous leadership with equally tremendous energy to deliver superior solutions to Government customers. The recent Nemean award by DLA Columbus confirms everything I know and believe in about Nemean.”

Ultimately, opportunities and contracts only become successful missions when exceptional people are there to execute them—a responsibility Perillard sees firsthand through her leadership of Nemean’s recruiting efforts.

“I’m proud to play a part in bringing people into a company where leadership invests in its people and the entire team shares a commitment to our mission, our customers, and each other,” said Perillard. “Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 is a testament to the talented people who have driven Nemean’s growth and success.”

Five consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 represent more than sustained business growth for Nemean. They reflect a Pride that finds opportunities, competes with discipline, welcomes exceptional people, supports one another, and delivers on its commitments to customers.

At Nemean, growth has never belonged to a single person or department. It belongs to the Pride—and it is built the same way Nemean approaches every mission:
