The dramatic jump in ranking spotlights VLK\u2019s organic growth, both by adding new clients and additional projects from existing clients, rather than growth through acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>This ranking is direct reflection of the VLK team\u2019s incredible work for our clients. The kind of momentum VLK has had for years is a testament to our commitment to building long-term relationships with our clients and a desire to live our core values of innovation, improvement, and finding better solutions, whether through creativity, technology, or unparalleled client service.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/vlkarchitects.com\/leadership\/?team=216\">Sloan Harris, CEO | Partner of VLK<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through investments in people and technology, VLK is reimagining everyday business processes, continuously improving the employee experience, and redefining how its services are delivered.
