Collibra employed approximately 210 people as of early 2017. The largest team is based in New York, which serves as the commercial headquarters. Engineering is headquartered in Brussels, where the company was founded, with a second engineering office in Poland opened to address a shortage of engineering talent in Brussels. Sales and marketing for Europe operates out of London.

Van de Maele described the geographic distribution as following the company's history: the founding team relocated to New York to be close to the predominantly US customer base, while engineering remained anchored in Brussels. The Poland office was a capacity-driven expansion rather than a cost-driven one, though the lower relative cost of engineering talent in Eastern Europe was acknowledged as a factor.
