Nohup was founded by Maria Aiello and Riccardo Fabbri with the aim of creating a cutting-edge service based on strong technical expertise in software development and system architecture, able to provide businesses with innovative and concrete solutions. The company relies on 30 professionals operating in the cities of Milan and Udine, with part of the team already based in Milan’s Havas Village to accelerate the integration of different competences.
Yannick Bolloré, Chairman & CEO of Havas Group comments: “The acquisition of Nohup confirms the importance of the Italian market to Havas Group. Nohup will be a crucial strategic partner in bringing the technological expertise necessary to keeping communication relevant in such a changing landscape.
