Jones Day has advised founder Sam Phillips and long-standing client Alcuin Capital Partners on the exit of their investments in Glide Technologies Limited, a leading London-based software-as-a-service provider specialising in corporate communications and reputation management solutions. The company was acquired by NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. 


The transaction was led by private equity partner James Goold, with assistance principally from Tom Hussey and Saffron Finch (Corporate), Blaise Marin-Curtoud and Anthony Whall (Tax) and Jessica Billington (Employment). 


Goold says: "This has been an extremely busy year for Alcuin and we are glad to have been able to help them with yet another transaction in such a short space of time following the Krispy Kreme buyout which we completed with them last week. This is a great result for Sam too and we very much look forward to seeing Glide prosper under NASDAQ’s ownership going forward."
