Company with ambitious goals injects humor into business model

For someone serious about building the business-to-business IT services company he founded into one of the biggest in Florida, if not the country, Greg Zolkos puts a premium on goofiness.  

The company, Tampa-based Atlas Professional Services, has all the markings of a fun and hip work environment, down to the gaming lounge, beer fridge and ugly sweater parties. While Zolkos is driven to outperform expectations for every client, he says he realizes his company isn’t putting out fires or curing diseases. “Sometimes it pays off to keep things jovial and light,” he says.
