Cracking the Nordic market after years of trying

FPT

In short

Despite several years of investment, Vietnam’s largest technology group had no real footprint in the Nordics. We led FPT’s expansion with new entities and teams in the Nordics, Benelux and Poland, and delivered more than 200% revenue growth in the Nordics and 40%+ growth for FPT Europe.

This engagement was led by Peter, co-founder of Beyond Borders, during his time at FPT Europe.
