Global customer engagement leader CCI Global has announced an expansion in Galway as it moves from a three-desk startup space into a 30-person office unit.
CCI Global said the new office space at Platform94 in Galway will provide the capacity needed to support its growth plans in the region, with room to scale their team steadily over the coming months.
CCI Global operates across key African markets including Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Egypt and South Africa, with Botswana launching soon.
With over 15,000 employees across 15 sites on the continent, its expansion in Galway marks a strategic step in building distributed global tech hubs.
It said that Galway’s vibrant talent pool, innovation-driven culture, and strong connectivity make it an ideal European base to complement the company’s growing African operations.
Martin Roe, Group CEO of CCI Global, said the company chose Ireland as the home of its IT Hub because of the country’s strong reputation for tech talent and the “incredible” support from the government and local ecosystem.
“We’re excited to be expanding into a larger space in Galway, strengthening our IT capabilities, and creating more high-quality jobs here in Ireland,” he aded.
Mervyn Pretorius, Group CTO and Ireland Lead, said that establishing its European base at Platform94 is a strategic move for CCI as it continues to grow its global delivery capability.
“The team here is already contributing to key areas of our technology and client support operations, and this expansion positions us to deliver even more value to our partners worldwide,” he added.
Marie Donnellan, CEO of Platform94, said the speed of CCI’s growth speaks not only to the strength of the local ecosystem for ambitious global tech businesses, but also to the calibre of the team they’ve built here in Galway.
Denis Curran, Head of Emerging Business at IDA Ireland, said that CCI Global’s expansion in Galway is a strong endorsement of Ireland’s position as a strategic location for ambitious, growth-focused companies.
“Our pro-business environment, combined with access to skilled talent and a supportive innovation ecosystem, continues to attract firms from across the globe,” Mr Curran added
