The Hub will be home to more than 50 employees across 10 countries who have experience working in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Turkish and other European languages. The goal is to build a sales presence in Amsterdam and a growing EMEA Ads Engineering team. The plan to “significantly” grow both teams by the end of 2023.
