Making Pigs Fly Since 2016

We first set up shop in 2016 as a highly-specialized Salesforce integration and implementation partner. Working alongside technology leaders across a range of industries, we grew increasingly frustrated watching organizations become seemingly so accustomed to underperforming tech investments, that seeing a new initiative deliver tangible ROI felt akin to pigs flying. 

As we’ve continued to expand our team and bolster our capabilities, our commitment to our mission has only become more resolute: Green Irony exists to help businesses bridge the gap between breakthrough technologies and the value they promise to deliver. Whether it’s leveraging composable integration strategies, seamlessly integrated platforms or the meticulous migration of legacy data systems, we’re big believers that the “doing” is what makes all the difference. And we’ve got nearly a decade of stories to prove it. 

Led by Experience

    Aaron Godby

    CEO & Founder

    Aaron began his career at IBM’s R&D department for the #1 Java middleware platform, IBM WebSphere. He quickly discovered that his passion was for helping customers solve their biggest technology challenges and pivoted to consulting, where he co-founded PointSource (now Globant) Raleigh in 2012 to focus on cutting-edge mobile technology as a digital transformation driver. 

    During his time at PointSource, it became clear to Aaron that without a scalable strategy for digital transformation, it’s impossible to achieve the customer experience and revenue goals needed for long-term business success. Green Irony was built to help enterprises overcome this challenge. Aaron founded Green Irony in 2016 with the mindset that status-quo thinking and a lack of focus on scalable technology investments hold enterprises back from achieving long-term technology goals.

What’s In a Name?

“We often hear this question: “What’s the story behind ‘Green Irony’ and the pigs?”

The name ‘Green Irony’ reflects a crucial insight: the irony of significant investment in technology (‘green’) without strategic planning, leading to wasted resources and unmet objectives. It’s like expecting technology to magically solve problems without addressing foundational issues. This approach results in a cycle of expenditure without return, a plight we’re committed to changing.

The flying pig in our logo symbolizes our challenge to conventional wisdom – that transformative success in technology, akin to pigs flying, requires more than just investment; it needs smart integration and enabling platforms like MuleSoft. Our mascot, Banks, represents this philosophy, embodying the belief that with the right strategy and integration, even the most ambitious goals are achievable.”

Our Company

Core Values

A combination of smarts and playfulness-this is what we embody and makes Green Irony an awesome place to work.

Own It

Our roles and accountabilities. Our innovations and our mistakes. When we see a problem, we don’t ignore it—we do something about it! Our culture of ownership and personal accountability enables us all to personally impact Green Irony’s very DNA and create success in our mutual destiny.

Drive Outcomes

We have big goals, and so do our customers. Everything in our approach, from our technology choices to our hiring decisions, is engineered to deliver successful business outcomes for both Green Irony and our clients. Our culture starts with the end in mind, and we work as a team to achieve success.

Make Pigs Fly

At Green Irony, we aren’t satisfied with “the way things have always been.” Instead, we challenge status-quo thinking to innovate on problems worth solving and achieve aspirational goals that weren’t thought to be possible. We make pigs fly.

No BS

Green Irony brings brilliant minds together through a trusting, high-performance culture of teamwork, feedback, and growth. The foundation of this trust is built by a zero-tolerance approach to toxicity, drama, politics, and hidden agendas. We assume positive intent and communicate in a direct, no-BS fashion.

Enjoy Life

We all do our best work when we are personally fulfilled. Each one of us has different needs and desires to achieve self-actualization, and Green Irony supports these unique needs. Our culture enables the balance and flexibility to enjoy life outside of work while achieving professional success in a high-performance culture.

Why Join Our Team

Because we’re really a team. Not a disparate group of technicians who have never met and happen to share an email domain. We’re a highly-collaborative, passionate group of people who love solving problems and take pride in their work. If you’re someone who wants to hone your craft, work alongside good people, and belong to a place with a flying pig for a company mascot, we’re always looking to add to our crew.
