Proofpoint

Navigating International Expansion

Company Overview

Proofpoint is a leading cybersecurity company that protects organisations’ people, data and brands from advanced threats and compliance risks. As a global enterprise with a lean internal HR structure, Proofpoint partnered with Emerald Technology to support international hiring and ensure compliant employment across multiple countries.

Challenges

Proofpoint needed to grow fast in new markets, without the delays, risks, or cost of setting up entities. Their global talent strategy relied heavily on freelancers and remote teams, but navigating compliance, contracts, and payroll was slowing them down. With limited local talent pools and no easy way to onboard full-time hires, they needed a better model.

Solution

Emerald helped Proofpoint make remote hiring seamless. We enabled them to compliantly employ 40+ team members across the UK, Argentina, Portugal, Mexico, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Bulgaria, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Croatia, Ireland, Thailand, and India.

Result

Proofpoint now operates in 15+ countries without entity setup, juggling freelancers, or compliance headaches. They’ve unlocked new markets, tapped into global talent, and built high-performing teams with speed and confidence—while Emerald handles the rest.
