Limerick city will also be the location for the company’s EMEA headquarters, and it expects to fill these technical and commercial roles over the next two and a half years.
“We are delighted to choose Limerick as the location for our European HQ. I started my own career in the locality, and I have had great experience with operating prior companies from Ireland’s Midwest,” said CEO Ray Downes.
The company currently serves 3000+ enterprise customers with well over a million users in over 90 countries, including Global 1000 enterprises, educational institutions, government organizations, and managed service providers.
