CEO of Educate 360, Jason Cassidy, further commented: “We feel that Velopi provides Educate 360 with the ideal platform for further global expansion in Europe given its strong customer relationships and its reputation in Ireland and beyond for high quality project management training and consulting. We know this combination will allow us to help Educate 360’s customers who are looking for increasingly global solutions and Velopi’s customers who may be looking for a broader set of offerings from a trusted provider. Seamus and I know we share similar approaches to serving the customer.”
