How it started
Spicy Mango was established in 2013 to rethink how professional services and products are delivered across the media, technology, and telecommunications sectors. From day one, the vision was clear: to combine deep domain expertise with a more human, transparent and responsive engagement model.
The founders brought decades of experience working with major telecommunications providers, including the early evolution of ABR video. That experience exposed a recurring pattern - delivery challenges rooted not in technology, but in broken processes, communication gaps, and a lack of contextual understanding.
Spicy Mango was created to address those gaps.
Rather than replicate the complexity and rigidity of traditional providers, the focus was on building a team that could think differently - technically sharp, operationally agile, and commercially aware. A team equipped not just to deliver, but to challenge assumptions, simplify execution, and accelerate time to value.

At Spicy Mango, culture isn’t prescribed - it’s lived. It emerges from the way people think, work and engage every day. It’s shaped by a commitment to integrity, clarity and long-term partnership, and by a belief that trust is earned through action, not intent.
Technical excellence is a baseline, not a differentiator. What sets Spicy Mango apart is a relentless focus on delivery, a refusal to compromise on quality, and a genuine investment in the success of every client. The aim is simple: to make complex things easier, and to make working together an experience clients genuinely value.
