Press release
Denmark’s largest privately owned IT consultancy house now opens an office in the heart of the financial district of San Francisco in close proximity to Silicon Valley. The concept will be the same as in Denmark, where selecting and affiliating the absolute best IT experts in the market enables 7N to deliver consultants to some of the largest companies in the world. Lisa Dowd has been appointed Country Manager for the new company.
Copenhagen, Denmark, February 9th. 2011 – The financial crisis has changed the game but the world’s IT capital still resides in the Silicon Valley close to San Francisco. This is where the world’s largest IT businesses have their headquarters and soon, these companies and their customers will benefit from the local presence of 7N in the States as well as the more than 500 European 7N consultants and from 7N’s Indian sourcing center.
‘7N has a definite global growth strategy and the US plays an important part in this strategy. The American market in general and Silicon Valley in particular are made for 7N’s business concept, which entails finding and affiliating the world’s best IT consultants and providing them with jobs on large IT projects. The culture of independence and spirit of entrepreneuring combined with the world’s largest IT projects make for enormous possibilities for 7N in Silicon Valley,’ says CEO Lars Wørzner, 7N.
7N already has a substantial number of projects involving American companies but has never before had an actual American company or office. 7N has appointed Lisa Dowd, who has worked with recruitment and executive management in the American IT sector for almost 20 years, to be in charge of the American office. She looks forward to transferring the European business model to the US.
‘7N is already a worldwide success; my job will be to stay faithful to the concept and the strong values that have made 7N successful. 7N has experienced constant growth – even in times where others have downsized; this is a mark of quality. I must first of all cultivate and affiliate the best talent and the most experienced consultants for 7N,’ says Country Manager Lisa Dowd, 7N.
7N has already established branches in six countries besides Denmark and delivers specialized IT expertise, especially for the international finance and production sector. 7N’s business concept involves finding the very best consultants for the largest businesses to support their development and operation of business critical IT systems and complex IT projects.
‘In the US and Silicon Valley there is a massive demand for knowledge and experience – we will now be able to deliver this on a business platform that suits the American market perfectly. I bring with me knowledge of this market and excellent relationships; 7N reinforces the concept with their excellent reputation. I have a lot to look forward to,’ says Country Manager Lisa Dowd, 7N.
The long term goal is to expand to the rest of the US and reach a turnover of 20 M USD over the next five years.
