Dizzion: 7 Years Later with Founder Manny Ladis

Dizzion’s seventh anniversary is today! We’ve asked the co-founders to reflect on the past year and give some insights into where the company is heading in the next year.

We’ve already heard from Robert Green, now we’ll hear from Manny Ladis, VP of Business Development.

1. Did 2018 go the way you expected for the company?

Yes. We saw tremendous growth in the work at home sector. Companies who were dipping their toe in the water last year are now full steam ahead. We also saw a tremendous increase in compliance as one of the driving factors in using our service.

2. What are you most proud of Dizzion for accomplishing in 2018?

I’m extremely proud of Dizzion to have been featured in Gartner’s 2018 Market Guide for Desktop as a Service. This is the second year we’ve been recognized, and I think it’s a real testament to our service and the amount of hard work that our team has contributed over the past seven years. 

3. Dizzion is 7 years old now and has earned a spot in the Inc. 5000 for two consecutive years (the entire time it’s been eligible). How does that make you feel as a founder?

We’re very proud of all the accomplishments. We love the accolades and awards but really helping our customers solve their problems is what keeps us all going!

4. Did you expect the company to be where it is today when you first imagined it?

I think the size and growth is where we thought it would be when we started it. I think we missed the mark when we initially thought about our target customer, but we’re very pleased about where it ended up. We are seeing huge growth in the mid-market to small enterprise segment of our business. Learning new sub-verticals and acronyms every day!

5. How is Dizzion doing with its mission to redefine the way the world works?

We really are helping companies redefine the way the world works. Many companies are adopting the work at home model and Dizzion is enabling our customers to find the best talent anywhere in the world!

6. What’s Dizzion doing to change the end user computing landscape?

Our service has evolved over the year but has always been focused on the end user. We started with desktops. Then we added compliance and endpoints. Now we’re making a big investments into analytics. The desktop is a great place to get invaluable business data.

7. What’s your prediction on where the company will go in the next year?

2019 is going to be a huge year for Dizzion as we see continued growth in the work at home space and stronger compliance requirements. We will be launching some new strategic partnerships that will continue our growth globally. Look out!

On behalf of everyone at Dizzion, Steve, Rob and Manny would like to thank Dizzion’s partners, customers and investors for their continued support over the past seven years. Additionally, special thanks is owed to our incredible team that has made Dizzion what is it today. Here’s to another year of redefining the way the world works!
