New headquarters for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Central Park office building makes KnowBe4 even more accessible to customers and employees
Utrecht, 6 September 2023 - KnowBe4 is opening a new office to serve as its EMEA headquarters. The provider of the world's largest security awareness and simulated phishing platform is moving its Dutch office to the centrally located Central Park office building in Utrecht.
The new office was officially opened by KnowBe4's founder and CEO, Stu Sjouwerman, the Dutch-born entrepreneur who has lived and worked in the US since the 1990s. In 2010, he and his recently deceased business partner Kevin Mitnick founded the cybersecurity company to help organisations tackle the problem of cybercrime and social engineering tactics through the deployment of a modern security awareness training platform.
New office location helps reduce carbon footprint
The Central Park office building is located right next to Utrecht Central Station. This makes the new office easily accessible for employees and clients who want to use public transport.
"KnowBe4 is currently experiencing and anticipating incredible growth in the EMEA region. This is why we are opening this new office in Utrecht. It is centrally located in the Netherlands, within walking distance of the railway station and at a prime location in the bustling centre of Utrecht. The choice of this location is in line with our ambition to reduce our ecological footprint. Indeed, the proximity to the largest train station in the Netherlands ensures that our employees and customers can easily use public transport," says Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4.
"Moreover, Utrecht is and will continue to be an excellent base for establishing further collaborations in a region where many efforts are being made to promote cybersecurity. Cybernetwork Utrecht is a good example of this." adds Jelle Wieringa, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4.
