Our History
Globant was founded in 2003 by Martín Migoya (CEO), Guibert Englebienne (CTO), Martín Umarán (CCBO), and Nestor Nocetti (EVP of Corporate Affairs). Our founders’ vision was to create a Latin American based company that would become a leader in the delivery of innovative software solutions for global clients, while generating world-class career opportunities for IT professionals.
From inception, we have benefited from strong organic growth and have built a blue-chip client base comprised of leading global companies. We have expanded our service locations from one to 20 ( Buenos Aires, La Plata, Tandil, Rosario, Cordoba, Resistencia, Bahia Blanca, Tucuman, Montevideo, Bogotá, Medellín, São Paulo, San Francisco, Boston, Austin and London), where more than 2800 Globers work every day.

We have garnered several awards and recognitions from organizations such as Endeavor, Global Services, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals and InfoWorld, and we have been the subject of business-school case studies on entrepreneurship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and Stanford University.
We have benefited from the support of our investors Riverwood Capital and FTV Capital, which have provided equity capital to support our strategic expansion and growth. In January 2012, Endeavor Global, an organization devoted to selecting, mentoring and accelerating high-impact entrepreneurs around the world, invested in our company.
