How Mappa helped K2 scale 10x through better people decisions

As K2 expanded across Latin America and the Caribbean, landing clients like Mastercard, they needed to grow quickly without sacrificing performance or cohesion. Using behavioral voice analysis and regional expertise, we helped them build high-output teams at scale. Over two years, they made 100+ strategic hires and tripled in size, with talent that aligned to their pace and values.
