Austin Finds Favor With CA Tech Firms

Triant says the employee shift has been remarkable since moving to Austin.

AUSTIN, TX—To ensure the type of vitality needed for a city to thrive, it takes the right balance of residential and commercial, culture and entertainment, urban energy and open space. Austin has established itself as a leader in technology, innovation, energy, workforce development, music and creativity that has led to significant business expansion and overall growth. A number of companies such as Apple, Dropbox, Google and Oracle have all expanded or relocated large campuses to Austin due to its livability factors. One such company is LiveOps Cloud, which relocated its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin late last year.

Vasili Triant, CEO of LiveOps Cloud, tells GlobeSt.com: “As we enter a new growth phase at LiveOps Cloud, a solid culture, one that provides a good quality of life for all our employees, is vital to our success. In the Austin area, our employees have a city that affords them a family-oriented environment with a greatly reduced cost of living. Adding to that, our team has a rich and diverse talent pool to tap into as we accelerate our growth. The shift we’ve seen in work ethic, employee morale and overall enthusiasm has been remarkable since we made our move and I look forward to continuing to build our Austin-based team.”
