Rōnin Consulting Named a 2025 Best Places to Work Honoree
Nashville, TN – April 28, 2025 – Rōnin Consulting has officially been recognized as one of the Nashville Business Journal’s 2025 Best Places to Work. This annual award celebrates companies with exceptional workplace cultures where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best.
Winners are determined through anonymous employee surveys conducted by Quantum Workplace, which measure team engagement, leadership effectiveness, trust, and overall job satisfaction. For Rōnin, the recognition underscores a simple truth: great things happen when you invest in your people.
A culture built by developers, for developers
Founded in Nashville in 2017, Rōnin Consulting is a software and AI consulting firm with a strong reputation for solving complex technical challenges. The company has evolved into an AI-first agency, helping clients modernize platforms, integrate intelligent systems, and automate workflows. But behind every strategic engagement is a team of developers, architects, and designers who love what they do and feel empowered to keep growing.
Rōnin isn’t just where I work…it’s where I’ve grown the most as a developer. I’ve been here over two years, and from day one, I’ve felt seen, heard, and trusted to make an impact.” Elise Franchi, Software Engineer
Rōnin operates fully remote, with employees across the country. Despite the distance, its culture thrives on collaboration, curiosity, and shared success. Whether through monthly knowledge shares, game nights, or after-hours community events like Geek Social, Rōnin has built a workplace that values the whole person—not just the work.
We have always been deliberate about showing our employees that we care about them like family. That means actively removing obstacles so they can do their best work, promoting a healthy work-life balance, holding regular one-on-one check-ins with ownership, and creating fun ways for people to connect outside of work.” Ryan Kettrey, Co-Founder
Staying ahead, together
With back-to-back wins at the TN HIMSS AI Hackathon, Rōnin has fully embraced its role as an AI-first agency. The team leads businesses through the practical side of AI adoption, helping them identify the right use cases, implement the right tools, and turn AI technology into real operational impact.
We built this company around solving problems, and AI is just the next frontier.” Byron McClain, Co-Founder
As Rōnin looks toward the future, this award serves as a meaningful milestone—and a reminder that culture and excellence aren’t separate goals. They’re deeply connected.
