Go Daddy Opens New Office, Brings Jobs to Silicon Valley

Company hopes to double local workforce by end of 2013.

 

The domain and web-hosting company with racy Super Bowl commercials Go Daddy opened its South Bay office Monday.

CEO Blake Irving attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Go Daddy's new leased 8,160 square-foot office within the Sunnyvale City Center office complex at 100 Mathilda Place. The Pheonix-based company decided on California instead of Texas and plans to double its workforce—currently at 40—by the end of the year, according to spokeswoman Kari Amarosso.

Go Daddy already has several employees working there, including those of former Mountain View startup . Outright moved in this January.

Irving planned to discuss the privately-held company's future plans, which included recruiting top Silicon Valley talent among them developers designers.

Last year Go Daddy's sales exceeded $1.3 Billion, setting a company record in growth. It employs approximately 3,400 people—and is currently hiring for the Sunnyvale office.

Go Daddy has used famous race car drivers and models in its commercials, including Danica Patrick, Jillian Michaels and Bar Rafaeli.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
