Following the success of its launch in the UK, Podia has expanded into Europe by establishing a new German entity to accelerate its growth in the region.
Podia Germany, the new GmBH entity, will continue to deliver its as-a-service offering to clients using the same core technology platform while providing a portfolio of technology, furniture and wellbeing content, such as working, meeting room and office solutions.
The expansion comes in response to demand for Podia’s remote and hybrid working solutions in the region.
“As Germany, like the UK, emerges from work-from-home mandates, many German businesses have decided to continue operating a hybrid working model,” said Andy Pearce, CEO of Podia. “Podia Germany is an ideal partner to help organisations and individuals successfully deploy hybrid working.”
Podia Germany will be led by Lars Purschke, who has joined as CEO and co-founder for the Germany region. He brings more than 15 years of expertise in international management and has a strong IT background.
“I am thrilled to be involved in such an exciting company and high growth sector,” said Purschke. “The opportunity to help businesses and individuals professionalise remote and hybrid working are immense and by leveraging the work the Podia UK team have done, we can go-to-market quickly to meet the needs of German businesses.”
Podia said it has already opened its new office in Hamburg and begun its recruitment drive for its new set-up in Germany, with the firm looking to fill up roles across sales, customer success and marketing.
