Software Consulting Acquisition: AN Global Buys AgileThought

AN Global, a technology firm from suburban Dallas, Texas, has acquired AgileThought, a Tampa, Florida-region software consulting company. Together, the businesses will focus on digital transformation opportunities. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

AgileThought was an Inc. 5000 business in 2018. The list represents the fastest-growing privately held business in the United States. AgileThought revenues were $56.6 million in 2017, and generated a three-year growth rate of 170 percent, the Inc. 5000 report says. The company was founded in 2004 and has generated an average revenue growth rate of 44 percent per year.

The acquisition creates a combined workforce spanning more than 3,000 employees working at offices across three continents, the company said. Key markets included the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Portugal, and Spain.

The new entity will operate under the brand name AgileThought and be headquartered in Irving, Texas, the firm said in a prepared statement. AN Global Founder and Chairman Manuel Senderos will become Chairman and CEO of the combined business.

“This transaction creates an organization with wider, deeper, and more diverse expertise driven by a differentiated approach to delivering complex software at scale. This jointly empowers us to be more successful in addressing our clients’ most challenging issues and seeking the highest value opportunities.”
