Our unique entrepreneurial culture, global presence, and dedication to our customers has allowed us to hire and retain top talent around the world, and we cannot wait to welcome a new generation of Cventers to our team,” said Reggie Aggarwal, CEO and founder of Cvent.
The new employees will join a company that continues to win prestigious industry awards across a broad spectrum of functions including sales, marketing, customer service, and technology innovation, and is consistently recognized both locally and internationally as a great place to work.
