Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that TeamViewer, a global provider of secure remote connectivity solutions and workplace digitalization technology, will invest significantly in opening a sales and business development office in Atlanta, creating more than 100 jobs in the metro area over the next four years. The new office will be used to support customer growth in Georgia and across North America.

“Our first-class education and training programs have helped the state create a pipeline of tech talent that receives international attention and investment,” said Governor Kemp. “Georgia has quickly become the East Coast’s software and technology hub, and I am grateful to TeamViewer for creating jobs for hardworking Georgians in the metro area.”

TeamViewer’s offerings include remote desktop support, remote access, augmented reality (AR) solutions combined with Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and other tools for online collaboration.

“TeamViewer continues to grow its business organically and through acquisitions all around the globe, adding customers and offering new connectivity, IoT and AR solutions that solve real world business problems,” said Finn Faldi, president of TeamViewer Americas. “As a business and industrial hub of the South, Atlanta is a great location for TeamViewer and our new office will help us better serve current and new enterprise software customers throughout North America. We look forward to adding more staff and building strong ties to the community.”

Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Project Manager Barton Lowrey represented the Global Commerce division on this competitive project in partnership with the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Georgia Power. Colm Reilly and Ellen Kraft, who represent the State of Georgia in GDEcD’s UK office in London and Europe Office in Germany, also provided TeamViewer with information and specific insights regarding the international company’s potential expansion to Georgia.

“Georgia’s global relationships and long-time investments in our international offices are critical to economic development in the state,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Located in close proximity to many of their North American customers and thanks to the highly skilled talent in our state, I’m confident TeamViewer will be very pleased with their decision to join the numerous technology companies who have chosen to make Georgia a partner in their success.”
