Yugabyte announced an expanded global footprint with the opening of new business operations in the EMEA and APAC regions.

Currently, Yugabyte has more than 100 employees worldwide and plans to double its headcount in the current fiscal year across all regions with a strategic focus on engineering, sales, and technical support functions.

"One of the reasons customers choose YugabyteDB is for its ability to geographically distribute data anywhere in the world for performance, resilience, and compliance reasons. By expanding our global presence in engineering, sales, and support, we will be able to further accelerate product adoption and innovation, and connect with our customers where they are," said Karthik Ranganathan, Co-Founder and CTO, Yugabyte.

Yugabyte has established a new European headquarters in the UK, with imminent plans to also expand into the DACH region and Benelux, to serve existing and new customers across the entire EMEA region.

In the APAC region, Yugabyte has created a new presence based in Singapore to focus on sales and support functions and to identify new sales and partnering opportunities.

"In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to look at global expansion in a different way," said Eric Landon, Vice President of Business Operations, Yugabyte.
