Signify Health’s new state-of-the-art technology centre in the heart of Galway City was officially opened by the company’s CEO Kyle Armbrester.
Prior to the official opening, Armbrester was honoured at the Galway Chamber Summer Business Lunch which was also attended by Signify Health’s CTO Josh Builder.
Special guests at the opening included Minister for Disability in the Department of Equality Anne Rabbitte T.D. and IDA CEO Michael Lohan.
This is Signify Health’s first operation outside of the U.S., where the company has dual headquarters in Dallas and New York City. The impressive almost 20,000sq ft offices span across two floors in the Bonham Quay complex overlooking Galway Docks.
The Signify Health technology centre is one of the first office campuses in Ireland to be purposefully designed from scratch to work as a hybrid working environment.
Signify Health, a CVS Health company (NYSE: CVS), is a leading U.S healthcare technology platform with more than 2,000 employees in the U.S. The company chose Galway to build a dynamic and diverse tech team who will create cutting-edge solutions to help transform the U.S. healthcare system.
The Galway facility uses an inclusive design that ensures that sensory stimulation is varied throughout the working day. The workspace encourages a collaborative and sustainable work environment. As part of Signify Health’s commitment to supporting the community, the new offices have been fitted out using local businesses, craftspeople and artists to create a modern and dynamic workplace rooted in the West of Ireland.
The Bonham Quay building is certified with: LEED Gold, Gold WELL Building Standard, BER A3 Rating, One Planet Living, and Wired Scored Platinum. Signify Health itself is certified with One Planet Living, which provides a framework for organisations who are committed to creating a truly sustainable workplace.
Signify Health has already announced its goal of creating more than 125 new technology innovation roles at Bonham Quay with more than 60 talented team members already hired in a range of software engineering, product management and other technology development roles.
Attending today’s opening was the executive leadership team of Signify Health as well as representatives from CVS Health, which acquired Signify Health earlier this year, alongside the Irish team which includes Elaine Murphy, Site Lead and Michelle Concannon, Global SVP of Engineering.
