Samsara opens London headquarters

Samsara has officially opened its new UK and European headquarters.

The office will house product, engineering, support, sales and account management teams, as well as finance and marketing.

The company hopes the move will help increase its profile in the UK and Europe.

Since opening its first headquarters in London last year, Samsara has hired 150 people but says the London HQ will allow it to double that number within the next two years.

The 150 London-based Samsara employees were welcomed to the new office by US-based CEO Sanjit Biswas (above) and head of EMEA operations Nirav Patel.

“At Samsara, customers are our top priority," Patel said. "That’s why we’re creating a London team that spans every function: product, engineering, sales, support, and more. This localised approach has allowed us to deliver products specific to the UK and Europe, and is a big reason why we’ve had such positive reaction from customers. Our new office will give us the space we need to scale our team so we can continue providing on the ground support for our customers.

“We’re building Samsara for the long-term, and that means investing in the well-being of our employees. Creating a supportive environment enables us to attract exceptional talent and ensures we’re creating a sustainable business our customers can be proud to partner with.”
