“We have had incredible success since opening the first Dublin office and it gives me great pride to say that EMEA is the company’s fastest growing region,” said Wrike vice president of sales and general manager of EMEA Patricia DuChene.

“There is still tremendous opportunity here, in terms of talent and market share, and we are just getting started in EMEA,” she said.

The new Melbourne office will service the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region while the San Diego opening is the company’s second office there.
