“I’m proud of the
company 5CA has
become.”

Otto Van Haaren, CEO 

Founder & CEO

How it started

We founded 5CA with a simple idea: bring multilingual customer support to worldwide brands and give people everywhere the opportunity to work with them.

The Netherlands, 1998 — Our stalwart leader Otto spotted an opportunity to establish a unique customer service BPO offering brands support from native language experts who knew and loved their products — our Fans of Brands.

How it’s going

In 2005, we kickstarted our revolutionary work-from-home journey — long before many companies even dreamed of it.

By 2015, we were operating through a 100% remote operating model, with 95% of our worldwide staff working from home by 2019.

From our humble beginnings in Utrecht, the Netherlands, our adventures have taken us worldwide. While our HQ is still in Utrecht, our workforce now spans 95 countries — all thanks to our pioneering WFH approach.
