DataCamp is proud to be recognized as the 54th fastest-growing company and the second-fastest growing education company on the Financial Times (FT) ranking of the Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies 2021. The recognition is presented by the FT and Statista, Inc, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
