Wrike, considered one of North America’s fastest growing companies, announced the opening of an office in La Jolla.
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer celebrated the opening Monday touting it as proof of a trend in the city's ability to create “good, quality jobs and great careers in our innovation economy.”
“This is about creativity, this is about ingenuity and this is about talent,” Faulconer said noting that universities like Cal State San Marcos, UC San Diego and San Diego State University are turning out graduates prepared for high-tech companies like Wrike.
Sean Barr, Senior VP of Economic Development, San Diego Regional EDC said San Diego won out over other comparable cities when Wrike chose its newest location.
“We are the fastest growing place for millennials,” Barr said.
He added that Wrike will bring the types of jobs San Diego wants to have – including engineering and computer science positions.
“We look forward to adding another 120 jobs to the local economy in the next few years,” said Seth Shaw, CRO at Wrike.
