Computer software developer and vendor AvePoint Inc. has opened an office in Richmond and plans to hire 100 people here over the next three years.

The New Jersey-based company has moved into space in the Riverfront Plaza building in downtown Richmond and already has hired 10 people, said Brian Brown, AvePoint’s global general counsel and a longtime Richmond-area resident who is managing the company’s Richmond office.

“We have got interviews lined up for another 20 people so far,” Brown said. “We are definitely looking for good-quality candidates.”

AvePoint made the announcement Friday with Gov. Terry McAuliffe. In addition to its new local office, the company said it is expanding its existing Arlington County office, creating 55 jobs.

Richmond will serve as a sales center for the company, which develops, sells and supports software that provides governance, compliance and management solutions for about 14,000 businesses and organizations.

The company is looking for candidates for sales jobs ranging from entry level to highly experienced, he said.
