In a continued effort to best serve its global clients, Mirador now has client service personnel on the ground to counsel these clients from a more convenient time zone. In addition to convenience, Edinburgh was chosen for its business-friendly resources and its thriving tech community, among other factors. In the final analysis, Edinburgh proved to be the perfect European fit for cutting-edge Mirador.

With excellent universities, expertise in scientific discovery, beauty, walkability, and location as one of Europe’s chief cultural centers, Edinburgh has drawn a highly skilled workforce well-suited to work at Mirador.

Mirador CEO & president, Joseph Larizza said: “In order for Mirador to continue to deliver exceptional client service, we have to have a shop in Europe.

“We thoroughly looked into other sites, and I can say without hesitation that Edinburgh is where we need to be. Senior staff members willingly volunteered to relocate, we have hired our first Scotland-based employee and are actively recruiting additional talent.

Senior associate, reporting, Blake Johnson who is one of the first US-based employees to relocate to Scotland, said: “Having been with Mirador since 2020, I have experienced first-hand the growth of our company.

“I know how important real-time availability is to our clients and am thrilled to be establishing the Mirador office in Scotland. It is exciting to be in this historic city, interacting with such smart and vibrant people.”

Mark Hallan, director of global investment at Scottish Development International, said: “With its commitment to utilizing technology to serve the financial needs of its customers, Mirador, Inc’s decision to open a business hub in Edinburgh is most welcome.

“Given our focus on innovation, world-class workforce, outstanding universities, and technological expertise, multi-national companies in the financial services sector continue to choose Scotland to support their global growth ambitions.

“When you combine this with the quality of life on offer in our beautiful country – not to mention lower costs compared to other financial centres – Scotland is a truly irresistible proposition to internationally-minded firms.”

Mirador started with one CT-based employee in 2015 and has grown to five office locations in the US and more than 160 employees and is now expanding its footprint in the UK. Mirador also has an office in Dublin, Ireland, which houses certain technical resources.
