It is PPG’s eighth appearance on the list, which celebrates companies that provide their IT workforce with meaningful engagement opportunities, stimulating challenges and comprehensive benefits and compensation.

“We are proud to be recognized again for our excellence in digital IT,” said Bhaskar Ramachandran, PPG vice president and chief information officer. “This award is a testament to our focus on developing our workforce and harnessing the potential of AI and cloud technologies. Our global talent initiatives, strong connection between business strategy and digital IT efforts and commitment to modernization and digitization are essential to driving our collective progress.”
