IntelliGenesis LLC
Cybersecurity firm IntelliGenesis needed a little more elbow room in its 11,000-square-foot Columbia office after acquiring Illinois-based Cybati in 2021.
So, the woman- and veteran-owned firm leased an additional 8,000 square feet inside the building at 6950 Columbia Gateway Drive to develop its own IG Labs Division, which provides a hands-on environment to create cyber and data science solutions focused around two pillars, artificial intelligence and cyber. The lab space, which opened in October 2021 about one year after the company moved into the main headquarters from another location within the Columbia Gateway office park, has allowed the company to continue growing and "incorporate our expanding capabilities and innovation thirst," a spokesperson for the company said.
The state-of-the-art lab was designed and created by IntelliGenesis' Chief Technologist Stephen "Scribbs" Scarbrough and includes artificial intelligence infrastructure, a fabrication lab and cyber-physical technologies. It also offers cybersecurity training, artificial intelligence and machine learning services and other products aimed at improving its customers' cyber capabilities.
IntelliGenesis also designed its main office space in-house, as President and CEO Angie Lienert and Vice President and CFO Chuck Mosser led the project and selected everything from furniture to fixtures.
- Top local executive: Angie Lienert, President and CEO

What colors and styles are used in the design? For the headquarters, IntelliGenesis branded colors were used in blue, light blue and white tones. For IG Labs, which primarily is an innovative space, there is more of a tech feel with dark colors. There is black on the walls along with Firefox red and IntelliGenesis blue for the accents.
Does the office have any artwork? The office space has a lot of pictures of our company's history, employees and depth of work. The artwork is all done in-house by our graphics artist with input from the whole team.
Did the company survey its employees to find out what they wanted in the office? Absolutely, we constantly work with our employees to include their ideas, comments and desires in our company culture, which is reflected in our office space.
