Arkphire, a Dublin-headquartered IT procurement and services company, is rebranding to Presidio (after being acquired by the US company last year) and creating more than 30 new jobs.

The new roles, largely based in Ireland, will cover a range of areas including sales, IT procurement, supply chain management, logistics, cybersecurity, cloud service architects for Azure and AWS, project managers and team leads. Several graduate jobs will also be created at Arkphire’s Dublin office.

The rebranding follows last year’s acquisition by Presidio, which was first announced in 2020 – for an estimated €120m according to The Irish Times at the time. Acquiring Arkphire was intended to help drive Presidio’s business expansion across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The Dublin company will now operate as a fully-integrated part of Presidio’s $3.1bn IT business and will be a strategic hub for international expansion outside the US, where it has its headquarters in New York.

Approximately 3,100 Presidio professionals, including more than 1,900 technical engineers, are based in more than 50 offices across the US, Europe and Asia. In Dublin, the company has a workforce of 317, which is now intends to increase by more than 10pc.

Arkphire’s offices in London and Singapore are also set for further expansion following the Presidio rebranding. Paschal Naylor, co-founder of Arkphire, said that the UK office is launching a new cloud services consultancy hub while in Singapore, a new office will expand the local team across a range of new roles including sales, marketing and procurement.

Arkphire has come a long way since its establishment in 1979, having served customers in more than 90 countries, with clients including HubSpot, Asana and Wrike. In 2018, private equity firm Bregal Milestone invested in the company, which enabled the business to expand.

Speaking to Siliconrepublic.com in 2020, Arkphire chair Paul Nannetti said the company was “growing aggressively” and had evolved from “a modest Irish brand to a global player”.

Bob Cagnazzi, chief executive of Presidio, welcomed the rebranding of Arkphire to Presidio and said it is a positive step for the company to see its international presence grow in Dublin, London and Singapore.

“It marks a significant step in the integration process of our acquisition of Arkphire last year, allowing us to provide an even more compelling offering across the full spectrum of IT services and solutions, including digital infrastructure, cloud and cybersecurity,” he said.
