“Globant SA was another top contributor during the quarter. Globant helps clients with their digital transformation. The need to invest in digital transformation has accelerated as the pandemic has forced us all to conduct many aspects of our lives virtually. In fact, the company has seen its top customers deepen their relationship and spending with Globant. We view this as a proof statement that the services Globant provides are mission critical for its clients and believe the company is well positioned in the fast-growing digital strategy consulting services industry.”
