We established a strong relationship with Voxpro leadership in Ireland and look forward to the company’s continued investment in Georgia."

"Voxpro partners with clients that are changing the world," said Voxpro co-founder and CEO Dan Kiely. "Our success is built on delivering beautiful customer experiences and it’s our people and our culture that provide that point of difference. We know we’ve found those people in Athens.”
