About
Talkdesk helps organizations around the world create better customer experiences.
Our mission.
We offer a better way for organizations to unlock the promise and potential of great customer experience.
Our story.
If a journey is defined as moments of great courage, then ours began 10 years ago in the most extraordinary way—with a young engineer’s dream and determination to forever change customer experience by putting the customer at the heart of every conversation and interaction. Living in Portugal at the time, Talkdesk founder and CEO Tiago Paiva prototyped a cloud-based solution that was easy to deploy, integrate, and operate. He entered and won a hackathon, got some seed funding, moved to America and Talkdesk was born. We were a global company from day one.
Talkdesk’s journey, like all memorable ones, has been shaped by the hands and ideas of our people, connected through the years and across generations in an endless pursuit of “a better way.” That pursuit guides our vision and values as we challenge the old status quo in order to help our customers, our partners and our employees thrive and grow. Our entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in this passion and dedication to making the impossible, possible.
Experience. A better way.
"If you’re going to succeed you must listen to, learn from, and go above and beyond for your customers."
Tiago Paiva, Talkdesk CEO
