They started with a discussion at the kitchen table. Today, after 10 years of existence, they employ over 100 people in three offices, in Gdańsk, Koszalin and the Netherlands.

They will celebrate their round birthday in an unusual way.
In November, Goyello, one of the first residents of Olivia Business Centre, celebrates its tenth anniversary. The team decided to celebrate the occasion in a special way. They invited employees, customers, experts whose knowledge they value and young people whose opinion they respect to participate in the project.
In addition to the traditional cake and party, we wanted the souvenir of our 10th birthday to be something tangible and valuable at the same time – says Kasia Szemro, marketing director at Goyello. – Something that will be a gift both for ourselves and for our customers and business partners. We focused on good content and created “Move IT”.
“Move IT” is a magazine that features interviews with the company’s customers, videos, statements from team members about current trends in the industry, and interviews with Agile experts. The authors of the publication presented the story of Goyello in the form of an infographic, created a comic book about the adventures of a hero named Paolo Goyello and asked children what app they would design if they had the opportunity.
When preparing the magazine, we looked at the changes that have taken place in the industry over the past 10 years ,” says Kasia Szemro. – We have shown the success stories of our customers from their point of view. We have given the floor to our people, who are experts in their fields. We were also curious about what expectations customers might have of us in the future. That is why we invited young people to join the conversation.
The “Move IT” magazine is available in a traditional print version, intended for the company’s employees and customers, and in an electronic version, available to everyone on the Goyello website.
Peter Horsen and Arie de Bruin founded Goyello on November 29, 2006. They opted for a Western style of management, a flat structure and a team of talented Polish programmers. They were among the pioneers in the IT industry on the Polish market. Soon after, they decided to implement projects in the Agile methodology. They are still Agile today. They encourage and assist clients in transformation who have not worked in this methodology so far. Goyello prides itself on creating code according to best practices. In addition, it provides its clients with comprehensive care and advice – from the idea, through prototyping and validation, to the creation of the target solution. The company is a Gold Microsoft Partner. He is a member of the Pomeranian Employers and the Coalition for Friendly Recruitment.
