Cohesity Celebrates Grand Opening of San Jose HQ, Dec. 11

Tech company expands with move to Downtown San José from Santa Clara

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Cohesity, the pioneer of hyperconverged secondary storage, will hold a grand opening at its new headquarters offices in Downtown San José at 5 PM, Monday, December 11, 2017. The ceremony will be attended by San José Mayor Sam Liccardo and City Councilmember Raul Peralez (District 3).

With two floors of Riverpark Tower II, 300 Park Avenue, Cohesity’s 300 employees will occupy 40,000 square feet of space, triple the former Santa Clara facilities. The company plans to add another 200 employees by the end of 2018.

“We are incredibly proud to call San José our new home, and we look forward to playing an active role in the growing downtown business community,” said Cohesity founder and CEO, Mohit Aron. “This move is an important step in Cohesity’s growth and maturation, and will serve as a foundation for sustained employee engagement and success as we continue to grow.”

In citing reasons for the move, Aron pointed out that company culture is important to Cohesity, and being able to keep the entire local team together in one building to facilitate more communication and engagement was a key factor. Added to which, proximity to many global technology firms in a vibrant urban environment will help the company recruit talent.

“We warmly welcome Cohesity to Downtown San José –where they will join global tech companies like Adobe, Zoom, Xactly, and Pinger,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo. “We look forward to seeing their employees enjoying the vibrancy of Downtown’s global cuisine, theaters, and convenient access to Silicon Valley’s international airport. On behalf of our city, thank you to Cohesity for investing in the urban center of Silicon Valley.”
