Founded in 2002, by 2 engineers and are a tech company at heart. We think this is a competitive advantage we have and has fueled our growth. Full Year (2014) Direct Retail Revenue Growth of 63.6% Year over Year to $1.1 billion. We are now a public company and trade on the NYSE under the symbol W.
Why is this important to you. We are a global brand and have offices in Galway, London, Berlin and Australia. We’ve hired over 100 people within the last 8 months in Berlin and are looking to increase that.
Q1 2015 Direct Retail Revenue Growth accelerates to 63.4%, we need more people to continue the growth.
8 engineers in the Berlin office, with a continuous rotation of people from the Boston office coming to share knowledge, gain efficiencies, etc.
