Webroot to accelerate channel investment in Ireland

Internet security-as-a-service provider Webroot has opened its new international headquarters in George’s Quay Plaza. The company has expanded its professional sales, support and financial services teams in recent months, recruiting more than a dozen professionals to manage a growing customer and partner base across Europe.

Justin Endres, vice president of worldwide enterprise sales and operations for Webroot, said: "The city of Dublin offers a highly talented workforce, an extraordinary culture, and a diverse array of thriving industries. The opening of our new downtown office is exciting for a number of reasons; not only is it a world-class facility designed to accommodate our ongoing growth, but the location is geographically ideal for servicing our partners and customers across EMEA. I look forward to engaging some of Ireland’s top talent as Webroot continues to revolutionise the Internet security industry."

Webroot’s Dublin operations were responsible for approximately 35% of the company’s European bookings in the last quarter of 2011. The company plans to further expand its Dublin operations in the areas of threat research, sales, inventory and fulfilment, marketing, and localisation. The company is based in Colorado and maintains operations across North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
