The B2B consulting firm earns distinction in the Small Employer category.
McLean, Va., Jan. 6, 2026 — Virginia Business has named Main Digital as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.
Best Places to Work in Virginia identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Virginia in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Virginia; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Virginia; and be in business for a minimum of one year.
Main Digital is recognized as an honoree in the Small Employer category.
“Being recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Virginia for a third consecutive year is a tremendous honor,” said Sanam Boroumand, CEO of Main Digital. “At Main Digital, our culture is the foundation of everything we do. This award reflects the commitment, creativity and collaboration of our incredible team. We believe that when people are supported, empowered and inspired, great things happen, for our clients and our community.”
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and used its expertise to determine the final rankings.
There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“The 2026 Best Places to Work in Virginia know what it takes to create a workplace that results in teamwork and excellence. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive environment for all,” said Richard Foster, associate publisher of Virginia Business. “We at Virginia Business are pleased to join with Best Companies Group in recognizing these outstanding organizations.”

The final rankings will be announced, and Best Places to Work in Virginia winners will be recognized on March 31, 2026, at a celebration at the Hilton Short Pump, 12042 West Broad St. in Richmond.
