"Companies are realizing diversity is a necessary ingredient for creativity and success, and Tech in Motion DC is thrilled to celebrate Ostendio as our winner for the Best Tech Workplace for Diversity award," said Mandy Walker, Director of Marketing at Tech in Motion and Motion Recruitment Partners. "Ostendio continues to provide the tools and resources necessary for diverse thinking and collaboration among its teams, recognizing the value of an inclusive environment."

Ostendio has three founders - each founder an immigrant, a veteran, a minority (or both!), so diversity has always been important to the company right from the get-go. Ostendio believes that what makes people different allows us to thrive, which is why we place such a big emphasis on building an inclusive environment.

"At Ostendio, we focus on attracting candidates with a diverse skillset. We want to foster collaboration between teams. We have an open floor plan, combined with an open-door policy to encourage employees, no matter their role, to provide feedback and affect change within the organization. It's a great honor to be recognized by Tech in Motion. We are excited to keep building a diverse tech team and workplace," said Niamh Bennett, Director of Marketing.
