As an International PEO, Velocity Global serves as an Employer of Record for supported employees in countries where clients have not set up a legal entity, enabling companies to compliantly expand internationally in a matter of weeks, and reduce their expansion costs.
“The number of clients expanding in Europe more than doubled this year compared to the same period in 2019,” said Velocity Global founder and CEO Ben Wright. “Even amidst a global pandemic, our growing clients also doubled the number of supported employees onboarded in Europe this year compared to the same period last year. Europe is critically important for both Velocity Global and our clients.”
The uptick in volume supports findings in Velocity Global’s 2020 State of Global Expansion™ report that 41 percent of tech companies in the U.S. and the UK targeted Europe as the most promising market to grow their customer base.
Amsterdam emerged as the natural choice for Velocity Global’s European headquarters as a business-friendly, culturally attractive city for international commerce. The city is geographically adjacent to key markets like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. This year, in the final months of the Brexit transition, the European Union received approximately 80 percent of the European growth among Velocity Global clients, while the UK remains the top individual country destination.
Velocity Global established its Amsterdam presence in 2018, and now employs more than 30 team members in Europe serving in corporate and client-facing functions including client experience, employee support, operations, compliance, sales, finance, human resources, and legal.
Sander Poos leads Velocity Global’s team throughout Europe, reporting to Chief Operating Officer José Montero. He adds 25 years of experience in sales and operations in the human resources and software-as-a-service (SaaS) sectors. Poos most recently served as managing director of Benelux for Indeed.com, supporting operations in Amsterdam and Brussels as well as Dublin, Ireland. Previously he held leadership positions for companies including Xerox, Adecco, Monster.com, and Telegraaf Media Group.
“Sander brings a breadth of experience in successfully building people-focused business solutions across Europe,” said Montero. “His leadership balances revenue operations with industry-leading customer experience platforms putting people at the heart of his strategy.”
“New supported employees in Europe represent close to half of our global onboardings this year, a 40 percent increase over the first eight months of 2019,” said Poos. “I am excited to lead European growth for Velocity Global and our clients.”
The company's European team supports 19 languages from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, contributing to the 36 languages supported worldwide by Velocity Global. Velocity Global has 250 employees located in 14 countries serving thousands of supported employees for clients in over 100 countries.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable.
