What Forte Group does

Forte Group is a privately held, US-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1999 that delivers managed engineering solutions to enterprise clients across healthcare, fintech, software/SaaS, and other regulated industries. The company operates dedicated engineering teams and end-to-end delivery engagements under four core service lines: AI Solutions, Data & Analytics, Software Development, and Salesforce Services, with a specialized Testing AI-Enabled Systems practice addressing quality challenges specific to non-deterministic AI outputs. Technology breadth spans Microsoft.NET, React, Node.js, Python, Java, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Salesforce, TensorFlow, and Kafka, while proprietary differentiators include an Agentic Product Development Life Cycle (Agentic PDLC) methodology and a multi-agent AI framework for software development.

The firm employs 800+ people across approximately 12 locations in the US, Canada, the UK, and Mexico, and reports 400+ clients, 400+ projects delivered, and a 90% long-term partnership rate. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales targeting CTOs and engineering leadership, supported by thought leadership through a CTO2CTO podcast, gated whitepapers, and proprietary events (CTO Craft Con in London and Toronto, Innovate QA, QA or the Highway). Forte Group is a Salesforce implementation partner (including Hyperforce for GDPR-compliant EU data hosting) and holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and WBENC certifications that reduce procurement friction in regulated buyer environments. Leadership includes founder and Executive Chairman Steve Kreynin, COO Nadiya Kreynin, CTO Lucas Hendrich, Chief AI Officer Alex Lukashevich, CDO Egor Goryachkin, Chief Quality Officer Lee Barnes, and VPs across AI Engineering, Delivery, and EMEA. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding and completed one acquisition (Utopia Solutions, January 2022). Revenue and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed.
