DURHAM, NC, Sept. 21, 2022 – CREO, an innovative management consulting and advisory firm that shapes growth companies into healthy, successful organizations, has again been recognized as a “Fast 50” Company by the Triangle Business Journal (TBJ). For the second consecutive year, CREO has made the Fast 50 list as one of the 50 fastest-growing privately held companies in the Research Triangle region.
