Turning Technologies History
Turning Technologies was founded by former CEO Mike Broderick in 2002 as a member of the Youngstown Business Incubator. Starting with just three employees, the company soon expanded and, in 2007, was ranked among the seven fastest-growing small businesses in the nation by Entrepreneur magazine, and was named the fastest growing privately held software company in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine. In 2008, the company moved from the business incubator to the Taft Technology Center in order to accommodate an increase in employees.
In 2013, Turning Technologies acquired
eInstruction, one of its biggest competitors in the education technology market. As part of the eInstruction purchase, Turning Technologies also acquired GTCO CalComp.
When Broderick retired in 2016,
then-Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Ethan Cohen took over as CEO. The current CEO, Kenneth Frank, stepped into the position in June 2019 and served until his resignation in June 2021.
