Slalom, the Seattle-based consulting firm, announced it plans to significantly expand its Texas presence “in 2021 and beyond,” including in its Fort Worth office.
Slalom said it will add more than 200 people to its Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Fort Worth offices, in software development, experience design, strategy, organizational effectiveness, data, and Salesforce jobs.
“This increased investment is in response to client demand from companies in Texas and surrounding areas for more support and expertise to strengthen and optimize their business,” Slalom said in a release. “This growth is being driven across the diverse industries that have made Texas such a compelling home for some of the world’s leading brands.”
Slalom launched its Fort Worth in early 2020, it’s in “high-growth mode,” Slalom said. “Austin opened new office space early last year, just blocks from the state capitol on Congress Avenue. Dallas is expanding its footprint later this year to support the rise in client demand. Houston has quickly become the go-to for natural resources expertise, while expanding other industry verticals. Slalom has also increased investment in the public sector across the states—supporting cities, counties, school districts, and first responders in serving the community.”
Slalom’s partners include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Salesforce and Google Cloud.
“Creating innovative ways to delight customers and employees has been a trend in recent years and has really escalated in terms of priority in the past year,” said Brian Jacobsen, South Central General Manager. “New ways of doing business and engaging humans, supported by emerging digital and technology solutions, are creating a wave of change for everyone. Slalom is excited to be at the center of it with our clients and our people by making this continued investment in Texas.”
