We have the skills available to enable Pluralsight to grow and to embed their operations in Ireland. Their decision to invest here is a great vote of confidence in what we have to offer."

Aaron Skonnard, co-founder and CEO of Pluralsight, said: "We are thrilled that our new Dublin office allows us to be closer to our customers in Europe and beyond. Dublin's thriving tech community will allow us to build a strong team of high-calibre, multi-lingual talent. This will help enterprise leaders and professionals identify skills gaps and quickly acquire the skills needed to remain competitive and adapt to the rapid pace of technological change." 

Commenting on the announcement Martin Shanahan, CEO of IDA Ireland added: "Pluralsight is experiencing impressive growth. The company's choice of Ireland as the location for this investment demonstrates that Ireland continues to resonate with international companies as a very attractive place for businesses to scale rapidly, serve their customers in the region and attract the right talent to facilitate expansion."
