Salsify’s New EMEA HQ is Open for Business
Six years ago, I was sitting at a small table in Workbar Boston with my co-founders Jason and Rob getting more and more excited about the opportunities we were seeing for brands to drive growth as the world tilted towards ecommerce. Today, 250 employees, $98M in venture capital raised, and 100s of amazing customers later, I’m sitting around another mostly empty table getting excited all over again about the opportunity to build something new with limitless potential from the ground up.
The biggest difference: the table today is in sunny Lisbon, Portugal and our focus is on how we can best service and support all the brands doing amazing work here in EMEA.
The official opening today of our Lisbon office is an exciting milestone for us as a company, but we’re here thanks to the feedback and support from all of our customers. With brands like 3M, L’Oreal, Mars and dozens more already deploying Salsify across Europe, we’re thrilled to bring even more focus to empowering brands operating here to deliver the experiences consumers demand.
Why Lisbon?
As the first office outside our Boston HQ, this is a big step for the company and the question we get most often is how we chose Lisbon. There were a lot of factors in our selection from the business climate and the weather to the startup ecosystem and access to talent to the convenient airport and breadth of language skills, but ultimately it came down to one thing: the people. Everyone we met here in Lisbon had a deep desire to be impactful at work alongside real passions outside the office, a combination perfectly aligned to who we are and representative of the culture that’s won us 8 best place to work awards in Boston.
We see incredible potential in the ecosystem and people here, and can’t wait to truly get started building the team. We’re looking to build the foundation of a large team that will help transform ecommerce in EMEA and around the world. That early team spanning services, support, sales and engineering will have a disproportionate impact on helping establish our culture here, and we’re looking for people who are excited to bring their own passions and ambition to help create a new part of the Salsify story here in Portugal.
Olá Lisboa e olá Europa!
