Cybersecurity company Veeam has moved its headquarters from Columbus, Ohio, to Carillon Point in Kirkland.
A company spokesperson said Veeam made the move during the first quarter and has roughly 50 employees in the Seattle area, but the company plans to add to that number. Veeam took one full floor at Carillon Point, roughly 17,000 square feet.
According to the spokesperson, Veeam chose Kirkland because of the talent in the area, its growing number of employees here and proximity to partners like Microsoft and Amazon.
Veeam, founded in 2006, focuses on data protection, but the company also helps clients recover data as needed. The company says it gives clients insights about their data's location and protection in real time. Its clients include Deloitte, Shell and Airbus.
