October 30, 2007 Cleveland, OH – NineSigma, a leading provider of open innovation solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2007 Weatherhead 100. This award annually honors and recognizes the 100 fastest growing companies in Northeast Ohio.

"This is a great honor and we are excited to be counted as one of the regions fastest growing companies," said Paul Stiros, CEO of Ninesigma.
