TaskUs Launches New State-of-the Art Site In Medellin to Accommodate Rapid Growth In Latin America
26 July 2023 - 1:16AM
TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK), a leading provider of outsourced
digital services and next-generation customer experience to the
world’s most innovative companies, today announced the launch of
its new site in Medellin, the second largest city in Columbia. With
completion expected by September 2023, the Medellin site further
strengthens TaskUs' operational capabilities in Latin America.
Medellin, which is known as the “land of eternal spring” because
it boasts amazingly warm weather all year round, has
well-established technology infrastructure, a talented workforce
and a culture of customer service. Strategically located in the
heart of the city, “The Gallery” offers convenient access to
teammates via bus and metro. Drawing inspiration from Medellin’s
vibrant hip-hop culture, urban rhythm, and free-style expression,
the Gallery redefines traditional workspaces by incorporating
elements of graffiti and bringing the artistic spirit of the city
to life.
The Medellin site adds to TaskUs’ presence in Colombia, which
includes a site launched in November 2021 in Cali called “the
Arena”, which grew so quickly that more seat capacity was added
last year. TaskUs clients serviced in Colombia include some of the
biggest names in global sports apparel, healthcare, e-commerce and
financial services.
TaskUs has become a major, disruptive player in the business
process outsourcing sector globally and in Colombia through its
people-first culture and employee benefits and perks. TaskUs takes
a people-focused approach and, in Colombia, all employees
regardless of position have access to medicina prepagada, dental
plans, and life insurance—all with 100% coverage. Each employee can
also enlist two beneficiaries who are eligible for up to 50%
coverage of the same benefits.
"We are thrilled to embark on this exciting venture and bring
our exceptional customer service offerings to the vibrant city of
Medellin," said Pablo Gonzalez, Vice President of Operations in
Medellin. "The cultural richness and dynamic spirit of Medellin,
along with the warm and welcoming nature of its people, make it the
perfect location for our expansion. We are excited to collaborate
with the local community, embrace their unique culture and
contribute to the city's economic growth.”
“Colombia is one of our fastest growing regions and we are
quickly adding capacity to meet the demand,” said Stephan Daoust,
TaskUs, COO. “We are thrilled that Pablo Gonzalez has joined us to
lead our new site in Medellin. He brings years of experience in
customer operations and service management with business process
outsourcers and large, innovative global brand names. Pablo is the
perfect leader to drive our growth and success in Medellin.”
