With an existing Nearshore presence in Vancouver and Brazil, global IT services provider Softvision has been leveraging talent from both nations for years, especially north of the border, but was holding back on any Latin American presence, until now.

In a discussion with Andrés Angelani, CEO of Softvision and former Chief Solutions Officer at Globant, announced the company’s movement into Buenos Aires, Argentina. Once rumored as the next possible CEO of Globant, this move brings Angelani – himself of Argentinian heritage – and his company to familiar stomping grounds, where he may soon be in direct competition with his previous firm.

Headquartered in the Bay Area, and boasting such clients as Groupon, Macy’s, Goldman Sachs, Mozilla, and Estée Lauder, Softvision has a network of 2,500 product, design, and engineering professionals located in 17 studios across 8 countries.
