Marketo has officially moved into its new European headquarters in Leopardstown, Co Dublin.
The cloud computing company, which specialises in revenue performance management (RPM) and has already employed almost 20 Irish staff, said it is currently recruiting for engineering, support and marketing positions. Marketo announced last year that it plans to create up to 125 jobs over the next three years in an IDA supported initiative.
The company, which reported 130pc revenue growth last year, had been operating its European headquarters and support centre from temporary premises nearby in Sandyford while it finalised its new offices. The new 7,000 sq ft premises is located at Cairn House, South County Business Park. The letting agent is HT Meagher O’Reilly.
Fergus Gloster, Marketo’s managing director Europe, said he is optimistic about the company’s prospects, despite the slowdown in European economies. “Marketo was born out of the recession,” he said. “We have seen almost 1,500pc growth in the US from 2008-2010, proving that our technology can help businesses grow even in tough economic times. When there is nowhere left to cut, the focus must be on increasing revenues.”
Phil Fernandez, co-founder and CEO of Marketo, said the company has been very impressed with the quality of people it is hiring in Ireland. “Ireland is an excellent launch pad into the European market and we view it as Europe’s premier cloud computing centre,” he said.
