Globant is one of Latin America’s biggest tech success stories. Founded in 2003 by four Argentine entrepreneurs — Martín Migoya, Guibert Englebienne, Martín Umaran, and Néstor Nocetti — the company started in Buenos Aires and has grown into a global technology firm with over 27,000 employees across 25+ countries.
Globant went public on the NYSE in 2014, becoming one of the first Argentine tech companies to do so. The company’s revenue reached approximately $2 billion in 2023, driven by strong demand for digital transformation services.
The company organizes its work into what it calls “Studios” — specialized practice areas focused on specific technologies and domains. These include AI, gaming, blockchain, cloud, IoT, and various industry verticals. This studio model lets Globant build deep expertise in niche areas while maintaining the scale to handle large enterprise engagements.
Globant’s client roster is impressive: Google, Electronic Arts, Disney, Santander, and other major brands rely on the company for product development, UX design, and technology consulting. Their gaming studio, in particular, has been notable — Globant has contributed to titles and platforms for several major gaming companies.
The company has been on an acquisition spree, buying dozens of firms to expand into new markets and capabilities. Notable acquisitions include Bluecap Future Finance (fintech), GeneXus (low-code development), and several design and data analytics firms.
Headquartered now in Luxembourg for corporate purposes, Globant’s operational heart remains in Latin America, with major offices in Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and Mexico City. Their ability to deliver high-quality engineering work from Latin American time zones has been a key selling point for US-based clients who want nearshore talent.
