The new London office ties in with Vonage’s plans to host tech events throughout the following year for members of such community.

Rajesh Agrawal, deputy mayor for business, said: “London remains a leading business centre for US firms looking to internationalise.

“With world-class talent, a global financial services hub and a high concentration of global decision makers, it is no surprise to see that Vonage is continuing to choose London as [the] place to establish a European headquarters.”

Tony Jamous, co-founder of Nexmo and president of Vonage’s API Platform, will be leading the London office. He concluded: “The cloud communications market is growing at an explosive rate, particularly in EMEA and APAC.

“As these regions pick up momentum in cloud adoption, our presence in the UK positions us well to capture that growth. And with London at the heart of the UK’s tech world, we also see great opportunity to grow our team from its pool of diverse tech talent.”
