Callibrity Recognized for Outstanding Engineering Innovation and Rapid Growth

Cincinnati-based software consultancy, Callibrity, has been named a finalist in two prestigious categories of the Cincinnati Business Courier’s 2018 Innovation & Technology Awards: Tech Company of the Year and Outstanding Advanced Engineering Innovation—with Callibrity taking home the top honor for engineering innovation.

Founded by software engineers with deep roots in Cincinnati’s technology ecosystem, Callibrity was built on the principle: For Developers, by Developers. This developer-first approach is more than a tagline—it defines how the company operates. Both co-founders, Gary Howard and Mark Wehby, remain actively involved in writing code and driving technical excellence, even as Callibrity has scaled from a two-person consultancy to a fast-growing firm with over 40 employees—and counting. The company anticipates growing its headcount to 55 by the end of the quarter as demand for its specialized services continues to rise.

A significant catalyst for Callibrity’s growth has been the introduction of Agile Component Teams—a next-generation service model launched in 2017. While traditional staff augmentation, where Callibrity consultants embed directly within client teams, remains a core offering, Component Teams take the concept further. These dedicated, agile teams are fully managed by Callibrity’s expert architects and certified scrum masters, providing clients with high-performing development teams ready to tackle complex software initiatives.

To support this model, Callibrity opened its state-of-the-art, 5,200-square-foot headquarters in Blue Ash, Ohio. Designed specifically for engineers, the space fosters collaboration, technical excellence, and innovation, providing a centralized environment where Component Teams can thrive. For clients, this model eliminates the challenge of sourcing top-tier developer talent or providing the necessary infrastructure—Callibrity delivers both.

The results have been clear: Callibrity’s Component Team approach accelerates delivery, strengthens code quality, and allows clients to focus on their business while knowing their projects are in trusted, capable hands.

Callibrity’s reputation for technical expertise, innovation, and engineering culture has earned the firm multiple accolades, including recognition as a Fast 55 finalist, Best Places to Work finalist, and a 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, ranking among America’s fastest-growing private companies.

Winning the Outstanding Advanced Engineering Innovation award further solidifies Callibrity’s position as a trusted technology partner and a leader in Cincinnati’s growing tech community. Co-founder and CTO, Mark Wehby, accepted the award on behalf of the team, underscoring the company’s commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering real results for its clients.

As Callibrity continues to expand its team and services, the company remains focused on building innovative software solutions, fostering engineering excellence, and creating meaningful career opportunities for developers.
