R3 Takes a Leap in London
In a move that’s both ambitious and strategic, R3, the New York-based enterprise software firm, has expanded its London Wall office. This expansion is part and parcel of R3’s broader goal to hire 85 new employees worldwide by the end of this year. The kicker? Over half of those roles will be filled in the heart of London.
Hiring Blitz: Engineers and Beyond

Expansion Equals Engagement
R3 views the London office expansion as a linchpin in its rapid growth trajectory. According to CEO David E. Rutter, the company plans to establish a new engineering center, with the location yet to be decided.

Rutter on Brexit: Silver Linings?
Rutter is betting on London’s potential to flourish post-Brexit, despite the mystery and suspense surrounding the UK’s departure from the EU. “There is enormous opportunity for London post-Brexit,” Rutter stated, displaying confidence that London remains a robust hub for business.
A Political Soap Opera
Despite the hopeful sentiment from R3, the Brexit saga feels a little like a political soap opera—endless twists and turns with no resolution in sight. Even a Scottish court is getting involved! Talk about drama!
R3 Looks to Brazil
Shifting gears, R3 is also planting its flags in Brazil, aligning with local giants like Bradesco and Itau to develop a blockchain platform aimed at foreign trade and insurance. This move demonstrates R3’s commitment to innovation and collaboration on a global scale.
“The Brazilian stock exchange is currently leveraging R3’s Corda platform for digital identification,” officials say. If you haven’t heard of it, you might just be living under a rock!
