Quote from Tobias Dengel, WillowTree CEO:
“It’s common sense that the best team delivers the best product,” said Tobias Dengel, CEO of WillowTree. “From the beginning, we have made it a priority to build a team of mobile designers, developers, and strategists who are not only talented and passionate about the work they do, but unrelenting when it comes to solving the complex challenges our clients across the enterprise, media delivery, retail, and healthcare industries bring to us. As we grow, we’re continually working with each other to cultivate the kind of environment where the incredible people who make up the WillowTree family feel at home. We are extremely proud of our team and the work they do. All recognition for our inclusion on this year’s ‘Best Places To Work in Tech’ goes to them—WillowTree IS our people.”
