Walbridge has been named a 2026 U.S. Best Managed Company and earned Gold Honoree status, recognizing six consecutive years in the program sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal.

The annual program recognizes high-performing private companies for strategic execution, corporate culture, governance and financial performance. This year’s honorees were also recognized for investments in digital transformation and artificial intelligence capabilities aimed at supporting long-term growth and operational resilience.

Walbridge’s Gold Honoree designation is awarded to companies recognized as a Best Managed Company for four to six years, reflecting sustained performance and organizational development.

“Being named a 2026 Best Managed Company for the sixth consecutive year is a significant accomplishment that speaks to the heart of our organization: our people,” said Walbridge President John Rakolta III. “When team members are given opportunities to lead and the support to succeed, they continue to exceed customer expectations.”

Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges across four categories: strategy, execution, corporate culture, and governance and financial performance. Walbridge joins companies from more than 46 countries recognized through the global Best Managed Companies program.

The U.S. Best Managed Companies program is open to private companies with annual revenues of at least $250 million. Additional information can be found here.
