Thrive Accelerates North American Expansion with New US Headquarters
The expansion sees Thrive establish its new US headquarters in Austin, Texas, placing the company at the heart of one of North America's major technology hubs and creating a permanent base from which to support its rapidly growing customer community.
The investment marks an important next step in Thrive's evolution from a fast-growing British scale-up into a global learning technology company, building local teams and infrastructure alongside its expanding international customer and user base.Alongside its expansion, Thrive has announced Office Depot Group as a major new flagship customer in North America, adding significant momentum to its enterprise growth in the region.
Sarah Hoxie, EVP & Chief Administrative Officer at Office Depot Group, commented: "Our Coworkers work across retail stores, distribution centers, and corporate offices, and learning has to meet them where they are. Thrive gives us a single, mobile-first place for training and knowledge that brings development closer to the point of work."
Growing demand for a new generation of learning technology
Thrive's North American investment comes as the company sees growing demand from enterprise organizations looking to move away from traditional learning technology toward more connected, AI-powered experiences.
Thrive brings together learning, knowledge, skills, communication, social learning and performance support within one platform.
At the heart of that experience is Kiki, Thrive's AI, which helps employees find instant answers and relevant knowledge in the flow of work, while giving organizations new ways to create content, analyze data and support their people at scale.
