“GE Capital has strong capabilities in the technology sector. We value our collaborative financing relationship with them and appreciate their hard work in leading this transaction for us,” says Kevin Sofield, head of capital markets at Vista Equity Partners.
“In today’s complex world, companies are increasingly moving to software technology to help them manage compliance risk,” says Matthew Fleming, managing director with GE Capital’s TMT business. “We’re pleased to provide financing in support of Vista, a value-adding investor in the technology space, and NAVEX as they continue to innovate and grow.”
