We know our differences make us stronger here at Wrike. Collaborating with teammates of different backgrounds, opinions, and strengths helps us better serve our customers and solve problems.
As part of our new Diversity & Inclusion Initiative, we sent employees a voluntary survey to measure how diverse we really are. Check out the amazing results below.

It's been a wild and exciting year that saw us grow from 200 employees to over 400. We opened two new offices, released countless new features to our platform, and on-boarded thousands of new customers. All the while, we formed friendships with our colleagues, and continued to grow the culture of passion, learning, and collaboration that defines us as a company. Here are some of the highlights from the year.
The Wrike Sales Team is focused on relationship-building, communication, listening, and fostering trust with our clients. These qualities are all found in great salespeople, but perhaps more importantly, these values are most commonly associated with women, making our working environment more inclusive than many others. Our Sales Team members still have a great competitive mentality, but the focus is on the client, where it should be.
It’s a great time to be a San Diegan! Last week, Wrike officially opened an office in La Jolla and announced plans to create 150 jobs in San Diego over the next three years. San Diego Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer and Regional EDC Senior Vice President Sean Barr joined our San Diego team for a press conference to mark Wrike’s entrance into the San Diego market. “Wrike’s expansion represents exactly the kind of innovation startup the city is working to attract,” Mayor Faulconer said in his address. “San Diego has the talent for high-tech and infrastructure for high-growth businesses. Wrike recognizes the possibilities of building a business in San Diego, and I’m excited for the opportunities and jobs that will be available to San Diego residents in the years to come.” The Regional EDC’s Sean Barr spoke to why Wrike chose San Diego for its local expansion over U.S. cities like Austin, Raleigh and Pheonix. San Diego’s rich talent pool was a major factor for the company. With high caliber universities just around the corner, the city offers a great opportunity to attract talented employees as Wrike continues to grow. Six of San Diego’s major broadcast TV stations reported on the press conference, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, KUSI, and Univision. San Diego ABC reporter Jon Horn interviewed Wrike employee Martin Sohikish and featured an in-depth look at the new office and the vibrant startup culture Wrike brings to San Diego. San Diego Union Tribune and San Diego Business Journal ran online stories with commentary from Seth Shaw, Wrike's CRO and the head of San Diego operations. Named one of North America’s fastest growing companies by Deloitte in 2015, Wrike continues to expand at a rapid pace. We view the La Jolla office as a launch pad for continued growth in the region and place high priority on building a dynamic culture in San Diego. Thanks to the city for welcoming Wrike and supporting our grand opening. It was a great day for Wrike and San Diego! Supporting innovative, fast-growing companies help build our better economy.
