25 Years and Counting

Author: Andy Freed, CEO

Twenty-five years is a long time.

Twenty-five years ago, there was no iPhone. There was no Facebook. No Boston team had won a championship in over a decade. 9/11 hadn’t happened yet.

That’s how long it’s been since Bruce Rogers started Virtual in July 1999 – 25 years ago this month. I joined shortly after we launched, and neither Bruce nor I could have envisioned what we would become. After all, more than four out of five companies don’t make it to the 25-year mark. 

Over the past 25 years, we’ve experienced incredible highs and faced our share of challenges. We've celebrated moments of great success, helped hundreds of clients, traveled millions of miles, and created countless memories together. 

As we reach this milestone, I want to take the moment to convey my thanks to the Virtual team and our clients, for being a part of what we’ve built - and helping shape what we’ll become.

Creating something you love is pretty cool. When you can do it surrounded by people you care about and enjoy being with, well, that’s something really special.

With 25 years under our belt, we’re not done yet. Together, we can make our next 25 years even better than our first.
