SAN DIEGO, December 4, 2025 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU) has been awarded Gold in the Small or Medium Business Service of the Year category in Best in Biz Awards 2025, the only independent business awards program judged exclusively by prominent reporters and editors from top tier media outlets in North America.

This marks a very proud moment for the longtime leader in language access solutions, further solidifying its place among the most innovative and impactful service providers in the country. This year’s awards drew entries from thousands of organizations, from rising startups to global household names, making IU’s Gold recognition one of the most competitive and meaningful achievements in the program’s 15 year history.

Best in Biz judges praised company growth, innovation, and community impact, noting that winners in this milestone year exemplified not just strong business performance, but a clear and measurable positive influence on clients, employees, and the communities they serve.

IU’s selection as the top service provider in the Small or Medium Business Service of the Year category reflects a remarkable stretch of accomplishments spanning 2024 and 2025. The company expanded into nearly a dozen new cities and counties, secured contracts with three new state governments, added four major school districts, and earned new partnerships with federal and military agencies nationwide. IU also launched a robust Language Access Plan service line to help public agencies meet evolving equity, compliance, and accessibility requirements.

The company’s hybrid Human + AI translation model, developed in partnership with Diya Health and supported by new OPI, VRI, and AI leadership, has improved speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency, helping clients deliver language access more effectively during a time of rising demand and limited budgets.

The past two years have also brought other notable recognition. IU was named one of America’s Top 100 Small Businesses by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and earned a place on Slator’s Language Service Provider Index Top 100 list in both 2024 and 2025. Locally, IU leaders and staff were honored by the San Diego Business Journal across several categories, including Fastest Growing Companies, CEO of the Year Finalist, and Leaders of Influence in Advertising, PR & Marketing.

Beyond business achievements, Interpreters Unlimited continues to place philanthropy at the center of its identity. The company supports a wide range of nonprofit partners, from PATH (People Assisting The Homeless), Survivors of Torture International, and Endangered Species International to Junior Achievement, Ronald McDonald House, and Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center. IU also contributes an extraordinary amount of complimentary language services each year, including its long standing role providing multilingual access for the NORAD Tracks Santa Program. For 2025, IU is expanding its real time interpreter access from 8-9 major languages to over 200 languages for the entire 24 hour Christmas Eve phone hotline event, making it more accessible than ever.

“We are incredibly proud to receive Gold in Best in Biz Awards 2025,” said IU CEO Shamus Sayed. “This award reflects the heart of who we are, an organization built on service, responsibility, and a commitment to making communication accessible for every person we touch. Our team shows up every day with purpose, and this recognition belongs to each of them.”

This 15th annual Best in Biz Awards was judged by writers and editors from top tier publications including Forbes, Inc., Associated Press, Consumer Affairs, New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, and Wired. Their independent evaluation process remains one of the most respected in the awards landscape.

PATH Honors IU CEO Sayed Ali for his Dedication to Fighting Homelessness in San Diego https://www.interpreters.com/interpretation/path-honors-iu-ceo-sayed-ali-for-his-dedication-to-ending-homelessness-in-san-diego/ Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:22:44 +0000 https://www.interpreters.com/?p=87930 The post PATH Honors IU CEO Sayed Ali for his Dedication to Fighting Homelessness in San Diego appeared first on Interpreters Unlimited.

SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2025 — Fresh off of being named a Finalist for CEO of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal, Interpreters Unlimited CEO and PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) Board Member Sayed Ali, is being honored, along with Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera, by PATH at their “A Toast to Home San Diego” event on April 24th. The event will celebrate a year of innovation, collaboration and partnership in their mission to end homelessness in San Diego.

PATH is one of the largest homeless service providers and affordable housing developers in California focusing on ending homelessness for individuals, families and communities. With over 70 locations, and serving over 150 cities throughout the state, PATH provides housing, food, medical/street outreach programs, medical and mental health support, employment assistance, Veteran services and more to those in need.

PATH is a crucial resource in San Diego and throughout California. In 2024, San Diego County once again saw a rise in homelessness, with over 10,000 people experiencing homelessness. In their 2024 Point-in-Time Count for San Diego County, the Regional Task Force on Homelessness found a 3% increase from 2023 to 2024. 6,110 of those experiencing homelessness were unsheltered, which was an 18% increase from the previous year. From July 2023 to June 2024 alone, PATH helped approximately 8,000 San Diego region homeless access critical resources, served over 150,000 meals at their interim shelter, and helped over 1,000 move into their own homes.

At the “A Toast to Home San Diego” event, they will not only shine a spotlight on the amazing dedication of PATH’s team and honor Sayed for his outstanding dedication and contributions to creating housing solutions and uplifting our community, but it will also help raise essential funds to continue delivering housing and support services throughout San Diego. Contributions during the fundraising portion of the event go towards everything from essential care items, transportation assistance, case management services and groceries for the homeless, to moving them into homes and furnishing homes.

Since joining PATH’s advisory board many years ago, Ali has been instrumental in supporting initiatives that provide housing solutions and comprehensive services to those experiencing homelessness in San Diego. His leadership and philanthropic efforts have contributed greatly to PATH’s mission.​ Ali’s involvement with PATH goes beyond board meetings, he takes an active role in hands on efforts that deliver shelter, support, and hope to those in need.

While he runs national language services company Interpreters Unlimited by day, he also spends his time advocating for people who often go unheard. Through personal volunteer efforts, company support, and deep involvement with PATH’s mission, Ali has become a key part of the organization’s efforts in San Diego. Whether he’s mentoring young entrepreneurs, helping a family navigate housing support, or donating time at a shelter or food pantry, Ali’s focus remains on giving back and lifting others up.

“When I first got involved with PATH, I knew I wanted to be more than just a name on a board,” said Ali. “Homelessness isn’t something we can ignore. These are people with stories, with families, with hopes. If we have the means to help, even in small ways, I believe we have the responsibility to do so. I’m incredibly honored to be recognized by an organization I respect so deeply. It’s the work that matters, and I’m just grateful to be part of it.”

His leadership style prioritizes collaboration and innovation, encouraging employees to share ideas and drive meaningful change. His decision to implement a permanent remote work option has increased both productivity and employee satisfaction.

Ali’s contributions extend far beyond the business world. He is a dedicated philanthropist, actively supporting organizations such as the Ronald McDonald House, Endangered Species International, Survivors of Torture International, and the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center. As an advisory board member for PATH San Diego, he plays a key role in efforts to combat homelessness, advocating for housing, healthcare, and outreach initiatives. Through his involvement with SBA SCORE and the Chairman’s Roundtable, he has mentored countless aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them navigate challenges and build successful businesses.

SAN DIEGO, January 9, 2025 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU) has been named a silver winner in the Small or Medium Business Service of the Year category in Best in Biz Awards 2024, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.

IU is a San Diego based family-owned language service provider specializing in foreign language interpretation, American Sign Language and document translation. This honor reflects their consistent efforts to deliver high-quality language solutions tailored to the diverse needs of its clients. By focusing on inclusivity, innovation, accessibility, and social responsibility IU continues to drive meaningful impact across industries, including healthcare, education, legal, corporate and government sectors. Offering services on-site, via video remote, and over the phone, they remain dedicated to bridging communication gaps and fostering connections in communities nationwide.

This year’s judges were particularly impressed with the winning companies’ continued innovation and vast employment of such cutting-edge technologies as AI, their comprehensive approach to workplace benefits and employee wellbeing programs, as well as continued community involvement and growing commitments to environmental and corporate social responsibility causes. A notable absence of winning entries in the Fastest-Growing Company of the Year categories this year pointed to the difficult economic landscape this year’s entrants are operating in, which makes the winners’ achievements all the more noteworthy.

IU COO Shamus Sayed said, “Winning Best in Biz Awards Silver for Service of the Year is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team at IU. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and social responsibility in language services. We look forward to continuing our mission of making language services accessible to all.”

Since the program’s inception in 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined by independent judging panels assembled each year from some of the most respected national and local newspapers, TV and radio outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America. Thanks to the unparalleled expertise and experience of the editors and reporters serving as judges and the vast diversity of outlets they represent, Best in Biz Awards judging panels are best suited to objectively determine the top companies from among the hundreds of competitive entries. The 2024 judging panel included, among others, writers and contributors to Barron’s, Chemical & Engineering News, Computerworld, Healthcare Innovation News, Los Angeles Times, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Travel Weekly and Wired.

“Each year, our judges face the challenge of determining winners among equally compelling entries with varying strengths, poring over details and analyzing minute differences to find out who has had the edge,” said Best in Biz Awards staff. “Yet, as in years past, what sets our winning companies apart, is not just their growth numbers, patents, or outside validation of their strength. A true sign of a Best in Biz Awards winner is the positive impact they have in the world – the benefits they bring start with their employees, impact their clients, and fill the local and global communities they operate in.”

SAN DIEGO, October 31, 2024 — Fresh off of being named one of America’s Top 100 Small Businesses by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Interpreters Unlimited (IU) has received another honor, securing a spot on the San Diego Business Journal’s 2024 Fastest Growing Companies List. These back-to-back accolades reflect IU’s steadfast commitment to growth, innovation, and excellence within the language services industry.

For over 50 years IU has been a leader in providing foreign language interpretation, American Sign Language (ASL), and document translation services across diverse sectors, including healthcare, education, legal, and government agencies. This recognition from the San Diego Business Journal highlights IU’s ongoing dedication to advancing client support and communication accessibility for Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities.

For IU’s clients, this award signifies the peace of mind that comes with partnering with a company validated as a top-tier service provider. “Being named one of San Diego’s fastest-growing companies is more than a growth indicator for us, it represents our commitment to delivering excellence to our clients every day,” said IU COO Shamus Sayed.

The achievement underscores IU’s successful adaptation to a dynamic market, driven by quality, integrity, and a keen eye for innovative solutions. This includes adopting AI-driven machine translation with human editing, allowing for enhanced cost-effectiveness and efficiency, while ensuring the highest standards of accuracy in all translations.

IU achieved a 12% increase in revenue from 2021 to 2023 and is projected to have a 15% increase in revenue from 2023 to 2024. Revenue increases are not only great for IU’s growth, but great for local, national and international causes. IU gives back a portion of most contracts to charities and good causes including the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center, the San Diego Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House, Endangered Species International and Survivors of Torture International to name a few. From donating to humanitarian and disaster aid worldwide, to working with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) providing housing, food, medical/street outreach programs, mental health support and more to the homeless, IU’s philanthropy is far-reaching.

Their rapid growth and commitment to excellence ensure that clients in every industry receive customized, dependable language solutions. This recognition reaffirms IU’s dedication to high-quality, timely, and reliable communication support for organizations that value inclusivity and accessibility. It is also a representation of the need for language service providers across the country right now, there are so many who rely on them for essential services daily and the numbers are growing.

For companies in healthcare, law, education, and beyond, IU’s recognition as one of San Diego’s fastest growing companies demonstrates unwavering dedication to helping organizations break down language barriers. IU remains focused on delivering superior language solutions, upholding accuracy and compassion to provide effective communication for all. As IU continues to grow and achieve new milestones, they are excited to bring this same level of dedication to their clients and partners, ensuring that every voice is heard.
