Globo: making waves in Silicon Valley
In the digital age, there are few businesses that can truthfully say they still stick to the traditional 9-5 working day. Recognising the complications that arise from mobile communication and working remotely, an intrepid Greek-based startup is developing technology that complements the 'new normal' of employees staying connected even when outside the office.
In the digital age, there are few businesses that can truthfully say they still stick to the traditional 9-5 working day. Recognising the complications that arise from mobile communication and working remotely, an intrepid Greek-based startup is developing technology that complements the 'new normal' of employees staying connected even when outside the office.
In addition to securing sensitive company data and applications stored on mobile phones and other devices, Globo has also created a product range that lets businesses develop secure applications for mobile devices, running on multiple operating systems from a single code. Having already listed on the London Stock Exchange, this innovative Greek David is casting aside the economic challenges in its home country, demonstrating the real disruptive power of raw entrepreneurship.
With its sights set on capturing a slice of an industry predicted to be worth $7 billion by 2017, Globo is now looking to conquer Silicon Valley. The recent purchase of Notify Technologies in a deal worth $5 million has given it a strong foothold, and Founder and CEO Costis Papadimitrakopoulos estimates that Globo now has a presence in over 100 countries across the globe. As the only non-US company currently ranked as a Top 10 industry leader, this David is clearly ready to dance.
