ATLANTA, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OneTrust, a
global leader in enterprise privacy management software, today
announces accelerated global growth plans as it surpasses 1,500
platform users, many of which represent Fortune 500 and Global
2,000 enterprises.
In under two years, OneTrust has surpassed 200 employees across
four global offices in the United
States, Europe, and
Asia, and developed a
comprehensive multi-lingual privacy management software solution
that supports more than 35 languages.
Backed by the founders of Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ: MANH)
and AirWatch ($1.54B acq by VMware),
OneTrust is co-headquartered in Atlanta,
GA and London, UK, with a
fast-growing global team of privacy and technology experts.
The company recently announced plans to expand significantly in
Atlanta, including the creation of 500 new jobs in sales,
consulting, marketing, and software engineering over the next
several years. Additionally, OneTrust is expanding its
international presence with expanded office locations in central
London and Bangalore, India.
In an announcement with the State of
Georgia, OneTrust Co-Chairman, Alan
Dabbiere, gave the following statement:
"OneTrust plays a
critical role in helping global organizations comply with
international privacy regulations, and Atlanta serves as the best city for our
business with its easy access to global markets. Having previously
built two successful technology companies in this city, I believe
Atlanta has the top technology
talent pool for building a leading, successful software company to
serve our global customer base."
The accelerated global growth and international presence allow
OneTrust to continue to provide industry-leading privacy management
technology, privacy research, and privacy-focused user groups that
help organizations comply with data privacy and regulations,
including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR,) the
renowned and transformative new governance coming out of the
European Union (EU.)
"Europe's new privacy law, the
GDPR, is innovative in its approach, and is essentially forcing
organizations to accelerate their solutions to meet the regulatory
and consumer demands around privacy," said OneTrust CEO,
Kabir Barday, CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPM,
CIPT. "As OneTrust scales rapidly to address the needs of
enterprise privacy management programs, we will continue to make
significant investments into the practices and people behind our
innovations for the benefit of our global customer base."
The comprehensive OneTrust platform helps organizations track
the full lifecycle of their personal data flows, analyze them
against global regulations to understand risks, communicate
directly with customers, employees, and vendors to capture consent,
handle privacy-related requests, and respond appropriately in the
event of an incident.
"OneTrust's growth is fueled by the macro trends of
organizations collecting more personal data than ever before; IoT
making this data even more sensitive; big data pressuring
organizations to analyze and use the data in new ways; and consumer
demand for additional privacy rights," Barday continued. "All of
this is putting pressure on organizations to think twice about how
they protect the information they hold."
OneTrust added significant experience to the executive team to
balance its explosive growth by bringing on executives:
Ian Evans, Managing Director EMEA
(former Managing Director EMEA, VMware AirWatch); Blake Brannon, VP Product (former VP Product
Marketing, VMware AirWatch); Kevin
Kiley, VP Sales (former Sr. Director, North America
Enterprise Segments, VMware EUC); David Dabbiere, Executive Legal
Advisor (former COO VMware AirWatch).
"Accelerated growth must be balanced by a strong executive
team," said OneTrust Co-Chairman John
Marshall, former Founder and CEO of AirWatch (acq. VMware
$1.54B). "The advantage at OneTrust
is that most the executive team has worked together previously and
have learned the focus and commitment it takes to build a global
leading software company that serves its customers and employees
well."
