Bham Now | From the West Coast to the Magic City: Why Companies are Choosing Birmingham

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with CModel Data, Inc. CEO and Co-Founder Teasha Cable, alongside our partners at Bham Now, to learn more about the bold decision that brought CModel from the West Coast to Birmingham. What we heard was more than just a relocation story — it was a story about vision, opportunity and community.

For Teasha and her team, Birmingham offered more than just a new address. From a business-friendly environment and strategic location to an abundance of resources, talent, and growth opportunities, the Birmingham region stood out as the ideal place to scale. But the decision wasn’t just about economics — it was about culture, collaboration and connection.

Throughout CModel’s relocation process, the Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA) played an instrumental role in making the transition as seamless as possible. From connecting leadership to key local resources to ensuring access to networks that could support their growth, the BBA’s involvement reflected one of Birmingham’s greatest strengths: working together to make big ideas possible.

We couldn’t be more excited to have CModel in the Birmingham region — and even more proud to have a leader like Teasha Cable in our community. Her passion and commitment to innovation serve as inspiration for young professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs across the region. Stories like hers embody what makes Birmingham’s business ecosystem not just competitive but truly collaborative, approachable and full of opportunity.
