Q Advisors Represents Brodynt Global in its Acquisition by Expereo
29 Sep, 2021
September 29, 2021 – Expereo, a leading global provider of managed Internet, SD-WAN, SASE, and Cloud Access solutions, announced that it has agreed to acquire Brodynt, a global provider of managed Internet and SD-WAN services. This acquisition further strengthens Expereo’s position in providing managed services solutions to its global enterprise customer base and service provider partner community.
Founded in 2012 with headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, and offices in Austin, Texas, and Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Brodynt provides global managed Internet and SD-WAN services to global enterprise customers and service providers such as ISPs, Carriers, and System Integrators. This news follows Expereo’s acquisitions of several other leading managed services providers over the past year including GlobalInternet, Comsave, and Videns IT Services, solidifying Expereo’s position in leading the worldwide transformation to software-defined and internet-based networking. With the full support of majority investor, leading international growth capital and buyout firm, Vitruvian Partners, and minority investor, Paris-based Apax Partners SAS, Expereo intends to continue its acquisition strategy. “Expereo brings additional reach, leading digital user and operations platform, and complementary SD-WAN and SASE experience that our customers and partners will greatly benefit from,” says Marcus Munoz, Brodynt Co-CEO. “We have built a great customer and partner base, as well as a superb team supporting them,” adds Marc Mateo, Brodynt Co-CEO. “I am excited to see this integrated into Expereo, enabling faster expansion and adding broader capabilities as the market very rapidly transforms with internet services now being core to global enterprise connectivity networks; Expereo brings the scale to do so efficiently.” “It is all about scale and delivering world-class customer experience,” says Irwin Fouwels, CEO Expereo. “Where our ability to effectively source, manage, and improve performance of any type of internet-based networking service anywhere in the world complemented traditional wide-area-network technology, we are now effectively replacing such legacy solutions. Overlaying our own cloud fabric and digital customer interface takes an internet-based solution to the next level in terms of performance and experience – we are excited to bring this to Brodynt’s customers and partners.” Global enterprises are accelerating their network transformations following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following an initial rush to get their global networks fit-for-purpose for remote working, global enterprise connectivity is now migrating rapidly to software-defined and internet-based solutions, including through accelerated adoption of cloud applications. Expereo’s depth and breadth in expertise in providing and managing software-defined and internet-based networks and Cloud Access, allows a globally operating enterprise to do so with ease, trust, and security. “We first met Q Advisors a couple of years before we hired them to advise us on our eventual sale. During that time, we got to know Q Advisors and they took the time to get to know us. We felt comfortable knowing they would work with us side by side to get the right deal done. We quickly saw they are a very professional and experienced team within the global cloud and network services industry. It has been a pleasure to work with the Q Team. We really appreciate their good work, advice, flexibility, and great availability to jump on a call to discuss any matter along the whole process. We always felt we were in good hands. Many thanks to the Q Team, you were a true partner in every way. “– Marcus Muñoz and Marc Mateo, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs, Brodynt Global
