Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
We are a seasoned digital company that offers innovative solutions and services to businesses. With expertise in software development, IT consulting, web & app design, and marketing strategies, our team helps people all over the world enhance their online presence. As the CEO of Halo Lab, I’m responsible for leading this entire process and tracking the direction and management of our organization to ensure its long-term success.
What is the story behind starting this company?
The story began with a small group of designers who specialized in branding and graphic design. As our skills evolved, we ventured into different design disciplines. Over time, our team expanded, welcoming fresh talent and introducing new services, such as custom development and digital marketing, to offer comprehensive product solutions. From then until now, we’ve remained steadfast in our dedication, continuously pushing the boundaries of digital innovation.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
Halo Lab is a remote-first company, proud to have over 150 professionals on board (including about 60 designers, 40 developers, and 20 managers). While most of our specialists are based in Ukraine, we also have talented employees from the UAE and Andorra. With such a pool of experienced specialists, we can easily form dedicated teams and work in different time zones. Although primarily Halo Lab is an in-house company, our collaborative approach extends beyond, as we actively engage with external vendors who bring fresh perspectives to the table.
