66degrees

66degrees (operating under 66degrees.com) is an elite, pure-play Google Cloud Premier and Diamond Tier Partner specializing in enterprise AI transformation, advanced data analytics, and cloud infrastructure modernization. The company's unique name is inspired by the specific temperature threshold within the earth's atmosphere where clouds naturally begin to form, symbolizing their mission to help organizations transition from operational complexity to structural clarity. Originally formed out of the foundational growth of Cloudbakers (founded by Mitch Greenwald in Chicago in 2010) and its subsequent 2021 merger with Qwinix, the brand consolidated under the 66degrees banner in early 2022. Later that year, backed by a major growth equity investment from private equity firm Sunstone Partners, 66degrees completed a transformative merger with data analytics powerhouse Pandera Systems, instantly positioning the unified company as one of the largest exclusive Google Cloud services firms in North America. 66degrees operates at the cutting edge of the modern \"Agentic Enterprise,\" designing, building, and scaling custom Generative and Agentic AI solutions that deploy intelligent automated agents to orchestrate intricate business workflows and unlock massive operational savings. Their full-stack capabilities cover data and application migration, infrastructure modernization, MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle governance, and customized Google Workspace integrations. Led by CEO Ben Kessler, the firm maintains a rapidly expanding global footprint spanning Chicago, Denver, Orlando, and sophisticated engineering and delivery hubs across India.
