"I am thrilled to see 41st Parameter expand so significantly, and so close to its original launch location in Scottsdale," said Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane. "It's evident that it has found the Valley to be a great place to build a business and recruit a quality workforce and I look forward to seeing more great things from it in the future. " "We are excited to have such an innovative, growing and community conscious company like 41st Parameter in the Valley," said Phoenix Vice Mayor Jim Waring. "Not only is this company dedicated to making the Internet a safer place to conduct business, they continue to seek out and hire talented people to help them in that mission. " Eisen founded 41st Parameter in Scottsdale in 2004. Since then, the company has expanded around the world with offices in Silicon Valley: San Jose and San Francisco, New York, Munich, London, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In 2013 the company was acquired by Experian, the leading global information services company. Rather than consolidating, Experian® has encouraged 41st Parameter to maintain and expand its operations.
