“Celebrating 20 years of business and 10 years as a publicly-traded company is a testament to our people and the value of the products and services we provide to our customers,” said Matt Flake, chairman and chief executive officer at Q2. “Throughout our long history, we have continued to focus on our customers and our mission, and our guiding principles have helped us adapt to industry changes and challenges. It is a privilege to work with so many talented people who’ve helped Q2 grow and achieve great success.”

Q2 has also launched emerging businesses such as Q2 Innovation Studio and Helix.

“I’ve watched as we’ve grown from a small start-up with less than 20 employees to a publicly traded global organization,” said Adam Blue, chief technology officer at Q2. “The growth is amazing, but what’s more incredible is that we have stayed true to our mission to create strong and diverse communities by strengthening their financial institutions. Our focus on our customers, our culture and our commitment to innovation are three key areas that have distinguished Q2 in the market.”
