"There are a number of reasons I came to Looker - innovative product and technology that customers love; smart, dedicated people; a very impressive growth trajectory; and, the company has a strong, long-term vision," said O'Keeffe, VP of EMEA for Looker. "Looker fits in perfectly with Dublin's thriving technology sector and its diverse and talented workforce. It's an exciting time for Looker and I'm very proud to lead the team in Europe." Meet our Dublin team. "Looker's market adoption was built on, and will continue to be built on, satisfying one customer at a time," said Frank Bien, CEO of Looker. "We opened the Dublin office because providing that level of service to our European customers and prospects required a deeper commitment to the region. Now with our London office well established and our initial team in Dublin in place, I look forward to further building out our presence in Europe."
