-
01 Nov 2022
Press Release
The leading global analyst firm’s award recognizes Globant as providing “the most comprehensive suite of solutions and services in the market, spanning robust features and capabilities”
SAN FRANCISCO – November 1, 2022 - Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, announced today that Frost & Sullivan has named it the recipient of this year’s Company of the Year Award in the global digital transformation services industry. Based on the in-depth analysis of its global Growth Pipeline Experts, Frost & Sullivan reserves this recognition for companies at the forefront of innovation and growth in their respective industries.
By leveraging innovative business models, robust technology stacks, cross-industry expertise, and groundbreaking insights, Globant helps organizations reinvent themselves and, ultimately, reshape the industries they serve. Founded in 2003, Globant is now present in 21 countries with more than 25,900 employees, and became a billion-dollar-revenue company in 2021. Bolstered by its creation over the last year of new Studio offerings (including Metaverse, Airlines, Travel & Hospitality, Bluecap Future Finance, Digital Sales, and Digital Lending), strategic acquisitions of innovative companies (including CloudShift, Walmeric, Atix Labs, Navint, Sysdata, GeneXus, and HABITANT), and the launch and expansion of global talent hubs (including in Poland, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Italy and Germany), Globant reached 59.3% year-over-year revenue growth and 44.8% year-over-year headcount growth in 2021.
“We are honored by this recognition from Frost & Sullivan for our success in strategically scaling our company and our clients’ businesses by applying our expertise in emerging technologies, business innovation, and sustainable development,” said Diego Tartara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “To Globant, seeking reinvention is not just a motto – it’s a choice we make every day, on every project, and for every customer. Through digital transformation, we believe and have shown that we can not only advance individual organizations, but also the global human experience.”
“Globant creates innovative products and services that help clients respond to the ever-evolving demands of their customers and employees through three core competencies: its unique Studio model, cutting-edge Globant X platform portfolio, and global autonomous culture,” said Krishna Baidya, Senior Director of ICT, Asia-Pacific at Frost & Sullivan. “The company developed and refined its processes and practices over time, leveraging the latest technologies and methodologies to perfect its approach. As a result, Globant became a billion-dollar-revenue company in 2021.”
During its rapid growth, Globant has constantly focused on ensuring its clients’ strategies, plans, and projects are aligned with a sustainable growth path. Frost & Sullivan acknowledges that the company's integrated approach and close relationships position it as a preferred vendor, proven by its high Net Promoter Score of 70 (against an industry benchmark that varies between 30 and 40). To support clients further on their journey to build a sustainable future, Globant launched its Sustainable Business Studio in 2020. Leading by example, Globant became a carbon-neutral company in 2021 and committed itself to reducing its environmental footprint in line with Science-Based Targets. Moreover, Globant’s environmental, social, and governance metrics lie within the top 15% of the industry.
“Driven by its eco-responsible mindset, Globant deployed the MyFootprint web app to calculate the carbon footprint and electricity consumption (regarding laptop, monitor, heating, and cooling devices) generated by its employees' commuting and working-from-home choices,” said Riana Barnard, Best Practices Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Frost & Sullivan commends Globant for advancing the conversation on technology's role in climate change and, most importantly, leading by example through reducing the climate impact in all its operations.”

Globant defies old consulting practices with its new campaign: "Reinventing Consultancy"
-
16 Aug 2022
Press Release
Two commercial films, developed by creative agency GUT Buenos Aires, give a satirical look at old business consulting, and highlight the difference that Globant brings as the future of digital transformation in a market in need of constant reinvention with creative proposals that focus on results.
NEW YORK -- August 16, 2022 - Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technological solutions, today announced the launch of "Reinventing Consultancy," its second global campaign of 2022. Developed in partnership with the creative agency GUT Buenos Aires, the films "1000 Slides" and "Copy/Paste" use humor and wit to expose beliefs around old and static business consultancies.
With the tagline "Seek Reinvention" at its core, Globant's mission is to reinvent its clients' businesses with more agile, dynamic, and creative processes that deliver valuable and specific solutions for every client.
"The new campaign "Reinventing Consultancy" is a nod to the brands that reach out to Globant seeking something different. Those who know us know that the experience we offer is distinctly unique, from the proposal to the execution. Globant has a unique culture, with diverse, interdisciplinary teams who are experts in technology and in various industries," asserts Wanda Weigert, Globant's Chief Brand Officer.
"Globant is different: conceived as a digitally native organization focused on reinventing businesses, we strive at delivering end-to-end digital transformation leveraging innovation and the latest trends and technologies in the market. Our culture and agility set us apart as we work with some of the most respected brands in the world," says Martín Migoya, Globant's Co-Founder and CEO.
"The genesis of this campaign lies in the capacity to listen. Most big companies work with more than one consulting firm at a time, and NPS data showed that the major factors that make Globant stand out are their involvement, agility and flexibility when approaching challenges. Many of the insights provided by the clients themselves made us laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of how torturous and outdated some of these processes are, and that inspired these pieces," add both Matias Lafalla (GUT's ECD) and Joaquin Cubría (CCO).
"Globant is a company that is constantly reinventing itself. Not only the services it offers but also from within. They are "doers" by DNA; people who look for the new, the untapped. People who don't fall into the temptation of "Copy/Paste." That is their enormous difference - their greatness comes from the pillar we're constantly building upon, "Seek Reinvention," says Gastón Bigio, GUT's Founder.
Today, Globant works with Fortune 500 companies in key industries with the objective of reinventing and unleashing their full potential while putting humanity at the center of what they do. Using digital transformation as its main driver, Globant's mission is to continuously improve day-to-day experiences for people and organizations around the world.

Globant Creates the First Generation Z Corporate Advisory Board: Council of Igniters
-
25 Aug 2022
Press Release
- Since future generations will shape the world, the Council of Igniters aims to improve Globant to evolve as a company.
- This first edition’s advisory board members were selected for their leadership among young communities and for being rising stars in various topics such as innovation, sustainability, education, and diversity.
BUENOS AIRES - August 25, 2022 – Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, launched its “Council of Igniters,” the first-ever corporate advisory board comprised entirely of Centennials or Gen Zers (those born between 1996 and 2012). The new advisory board will bring a fresh and innovative perspective to support Globant constant reinvention, towards designing the future of organizations and attracting the next generation of top global talent.
The Council of Igniters will provide Globant executives with their perspectives on diverse Company initiatives and top global issues such as climate change, entrepreneurship and the transformation of work, diversity and inclusion, education, gaming & entertainment, and music. The Council of Igniters will reconvene with the aim of obtaining different insights and uncovering new goals. The kick-off happened last week at Globant’s Headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
“Globant believes that diverse teams are better at problem-solving because they bring innovative perspectives and life experiences to devise disruptive solutions," said Patricia Pomies, Chief Operating Officer, Globant. “Generational Diversity is a key pillar of our BeKind Initiative: giving voice to people of different ages is a must to discussing key issues, particularly in today’s era of rapid and constant technological transformation. We are excited to keep reinventing and to be the first company to create this one-of-a-kind council of advisors."
“One of our central values is to seek reinvention in everything we do. To stay relevant, we need to remain open to different perspectives to provide great reinvention paths for our clients and ourselves as a leading global organization," said Martin Migoya, Co-founder and CEO of Globant. “The challenges and ideas that will come out of the Council of Igniters will complement the input of our employees and customers across the globe, and will enhance Globant’s understanding of societal new horizons. This understanding is fundamental to our ability to keep building a unique culture for global talent, providing relevant solutions to our customers, and being champions of disruption in the technology space.”
First Meeting of Council of Igniters Outcomes
During the past week in Buenos Aires, six influencers from different Latin American countries (including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico) gathered with Globant's Top Management and leaders of different expertise, in the first Globant’s Council of Igniters meeting. Through in-depth analysis and discussions, they contributed with their points of view, suggestions, and life experiences in their different areas of expertise. Some interesting takeaways that emerged from the workshops include:
- Blockchain and Gaming are the future: In a world where the economic gap between social groups is increasingly widening, Igniters see technology as an ally to help reduce this problem – and specifically blockchain technology. They also identify gaming technologies as essential for companies to attract the attention of their generation.
- Technology is the strongest tool to combat the gender gap: Although it is a widespread social problem, Igniters agree that the technology industry appears to be one of the key areas in which companies can take action to reduce the gender gap by using more inclusive programming language, product designs, and more.
- Sustainability and the environment connect everyone: Organizations that help improve the environment and prioritize sustainability are allies of the new generation. Igniters value, are interested in, and immerse themselves in these initiatives, and are more inclined to support companies that also reflect and take action toward these principles.
- The Metaverse is the new 90s internet: For them, the Metaverse is similar to how the internet was in the 1990s, in that they are unsure what potential it has but they believe organizations should be making it a priority to find out. Additionally, they consider the metaverse to be the place where their generation can claim their authentic identities digitally. Beyond all of the remaining questions that surround this technology, something is certain: virtual spaces like the metaverse motivate many people to express themselves as they are.
- The transformation of work is flexible and purpose-driven: Igniters confirmed that new generations need a flexible workplace to be able to express their creativity and an organization that provides professional development opportunities which will help them grow beyond their perceived limits. To develop professionally in a company, they believe it is important that the company shares openly its purpose and how this links to young people's goals and desires.

Globant Publishes Sentinel Report on Industry Impact of Blockchain
-
15 Sep 2022
Press Release
The Report highlights how businesses, across verticals, can use blockchain to drive reinvention
SAN FRANCISCO - September 15, 2022 - Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, published its Sentinel Report, “Blockchain, a game-changer for every industry.” The report covers how blockchain is reinventing the digital landscape, the tools needed for businesses to best leverage this technology, and impactful applications of blockchain in various industries, as well as highlights blockchain adoption’s challenges and benefits.
“The value of blockchain is not only found in crypto asset management or new ways of interacting with money, but it’s changing many aspects of our daily lives and businesses,” said Diego Tartara, Chief Technology Officer at Globant. “There are multiple benefits of blockchain applicable for many different uses, from improving the efficiency of transactional processes, as in finance where you can tokenize financial assets to perform conventional ownership transfers faster and cheaper, to tracking inventories and guaranteeing product authenticity, as an example in the retail industry. Through this report, we aim to help both new and experienced blockchain users understand the benefits, challenges, and impacts of the technology.”
Key data about blockchain’s impact in the report include:
- Blockchain in agriculture and food will reach a value of $1.48 billion by 2026 (BIS Research)
- The financial sector accounted for around 30% of the market value of blockchain (Statista)
- The projected growth for blockchain in healthcare in 2028 is more than 1 billion USD (Vantage Market Research)
The Sentinel Report also notes that blockchain has already had a positive social impact, including improving supply chain integrity, securing digital identity management, and connecting the “'unbanked”' (people with little or no access to mainstream retail banking).
“Blockchain empowers industries and pushes humanity to make transcendent leaps that will take us further by introducing us to new models for cooperation that allow individuals to help others through peer-to-peer exchanges,” said Alan Verbner, Co-Founder of Atix Labs, a Globant Division. “From the Blockchain Studio, we see that the impact of the blockchain will continue to deepen the concept of ‘ownership’ and identity. This technology will empower people by allowing them to own their data in different fields such as education and finance.”
Blockchain Studio helps clients reinvent their business through Globant’s cross-industry expertise and state-of-the-art blockchain technologies, designing and building tailored decentralized and resilient solutions that boost strategic business value enabling efficiency, immutability, and transparency.
