Communardo Group Continues Its International Growth Trajectory
Communardo Experts Launches as a Joint Venture with Spirit Experts in Morocco
The Communardo Group, one of the leading Atlassian Solution Partners in Europe, is continuing its growth trajectory. Together with Spirit Experts, a long-standing partner, the group is establishing Communardo Experts GmbH as a joint venture that will build its own delivery hub for Atlassian technologies in Casablanca. This expands Communardo’s existing locations in DACH, Scandinavia, Benelux, and Albania with a strategic pillar in the MENA region.
“The European Atlassian market is growing dynamically, and our customers expect scalability at the highest level of quality.”, says Anje Hickey, CEO Atlassian Professional Services of the Communardo Group. “With Spirit Experts, we are deepening a partnership that has proven itself through joint work for enterprise customers. With Communardo Experts, we are creating the foundation to realize our ambitious growth targets and to offer our customers scalability, regional proximity, and full EU data protection compliance.”.
The establishment of the joint venture is the logical continuation of a partnership that has grown through joint enterprise projects. Communardo Experts brings together two complementary profiles: more than two decades of Atlassian consulting experience and a European enterprise customer network on the one hand, and deep market knowledge and experience in building within the Moroccan tech ecosystem on the other.
As early as 2026, the hub in Casablanca will take on its first delivery mandates in the areas of Atlassian and AI for customer projects of the Communardo Group. Delivery processes, quality standards, and GDPR compliance will fully follow the group’s established standards. Casablanca also offers strategic advantages through its proximity to Europe, the same time zone, and a French-English working environment that facilitates direct collaboration with customers across Europe.
Communardo Experts GmbH will be led by Imad Zinbi as Managing Director (CEO). As a Strategic Advisor to top management at international enterprise customers, he has for years supported digital transformation initiatives as well as the development of international tech hubs.
“European customers today need three things at the same time: scalability, data protection, and reliability.”, says Imad Zinbi, Managing Director (CEO) of Communardo Experts GmbH. “Casablanca offers the right location for this: a highly qualified tech ecosystem with direct connectivity to the European market. Communardo Experts is thus setting new standards in European Atlassian delivery.”.
On the part of the Communardo Group, Claudia Lutter, in her role as Co-CEO (DACH) and Chief Operating Officer, will strengthen the management of Communardo Experts GmbH going forward.
With the establishment of Communardo Experts GmbH, the Communardo Group is consistently advancing its international growth trajectory together with BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital. By building its own delivery capacities in the MENA region, the group is further strengthening its position as an internationally positioned platform for scalable enterprise transformation.
