Flowdesk
Flowdesk — a global digital asset and market-making firm — expanded to a new NYC office and needed a technology partner who could coordinate locally while staying aligned with their UK headquarters. Techmenity served as Flowdesk’s technology owner’s representative, managing all technology planning, installation, and vendor oversight on the ground. We acted as Flowdesk’s trusted local expert, ensuring their NYC space matched the performance, standards, and user experience of their international offices.
