TULSA, Okla. — Cherokee Services Group, a division of Cherokee Nation Businesses, received the top award from The Journal Record for its inaugural Tulsa’s Fast 40. The list was compiled of privately held companies in the Tulsa metro area, ranked by percentage of revenue growth.

Cherokee Services Group was recognized for its 10,000 percent revenue growth from 2008-2010. Cherokee Nation Businesses CEO David Stewart attributes the company’s steadfast growth to Tulsa’s strong and supportive community.

“Our partnerships in the state of Oklahoma and communities across the Cherokee Nation provide us with the support necessary for our companies to succeed,” said Stewart. “Our reputation, technical capability and value help to create economic opportunities for us across the nation.”

As a full-service information technology provider, CSG provides services primarily for government clients. From its headquarters in Catoosa, OK, CSG has grown from four employees to more than 200 employees within the past three years.

“Our companies differ from many in that our only shareholder is the Cherokee people,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. “As our companies grow, we create new jobs for Cherokee citizens, and as revenues increase, so does our ability to support the needs of the Cherokee people.”

The award was accepted November 8, 2011 by Cherokee Services Group CEO Steven Bilby.

“This list is filled with strong, innovative companies that Cherokee Services Group is proud to stand among. We are honored by this recognition and will continue to provide the best service and value-added solutions for our clients.”
