Rivo Software launches American dream
A Warwickshire software company has expanded its operations by opening an office in New York. Rivo Software said its overseas launch will help grow its North American client base.
Rivo Software – based at the University of Warwick Science Park’s Warwick Innovation Centre – provides large scale risk management and compliance software.
The six-year-old company said would open the new office to extend its presence within the North American market.
Initially, the New York office will house four staff and work alongside the 40-strong Warwick office – as well as a small satellite office in Zurich which supplies sales support.
Rivo’s chief executive Simon Hook said: “We already cater to clients in the US and across the world but being based in the UK ourselves we predominantly deal with UK-based, global organisations.
“We believe that by opening this additional office we will be in a position to create a similar presence within the North American market.
“Initially there will be a small number of staff based at the New York office but we are fully committed to this operation and I see no reason why it cannot grow to be at least the same size as the Warwick office in the next couple of years.”
