February 20, 2020 - OGDEN, UT – Eden – the San Francisco-based, market-leading workplace management platform – today announced it has chosen Ogden as the location to build its new inside sales team.
Eden provides office managers with the vendors they need to run their facilities—ranging from IT and cleaning services, to snack purchases and handymen—plus easy-to-use software for a centralized vendor bid collection and a billing system. Using Eden, workplace teams can ensure they have the best possible experience for their employees, as well as save time and money.
When considering locations for its new office, Ogden stood out as a city with access to a large talent pool – including graduates from Weber State University. Other factors included Ogden’s high quality of life, unique atmosphere, and historic downtown.
Maryn Juergens, Eden’s VP of business development, expressed her excitement over the availability of Ogden’s high-quality workforce.
“We’re really excited to announce our new office in Ogden,” Juergens said. “As one of the fastest-growing technology hubs in the nation, the city has amazing talent that we’re excited to leverage, as we can’t wait to establish our Utah presence.”
Eden is looking forward to establishing a strong and lasting partnership with Ogden City, working with the community, and bolstering the local tech industry.
