a-connect expands to the US West Coast
San Francisco talent hub is up and running
As a-connect’s 5th anniversary approaches, we are proud to announce the opening of our 5th office: San Francisco. There are numerous ties that link the Bay Area to Switzerland, going back all the way to John Sutter and the 1848 gold rush. More important for our business, though, is the fact that the US West Coast represents a pre-eminent pool of independent talent. We have recruited IPs on the West Coast on a regular basis over the last three years and since opening the office in March, we have intensified this effort. Today, we already have close to 40 exceptional West Coast based IPs in our pool, and that number is rapidly increasing.
But IP recruiting was not the only reason for opening a West Coast office. We have projects at two large financial services clients ongoing, and just kicked-off our first project with a Silicon Valley based software firm. The office is strategically located in Redwood City, in between the financial hub in downtown San Francisco and technology firms in Silicon Valley.
Walt Renfree, who was a Talent Partner in Zurich for almost two years and who is originally from California, took the lead in opening this new outpost. We are in discussions with two other Talent Partners to reinforce this team in the coming months.
