CA-WHITE-OAK-GLOBAL
20.9.2021 15:02:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
White Oak Global Advisors (“White Oak”) has completed the acquisition of Finacity Corporation (“Finacity”) a global leader in working capital and trade finance funding solutions to global businesses.
Finacity originates, structures and places over USD$100 billion in trade finance receivables yearly with over 50 leading financial institutions in asset-backed security structures. Finacity has facilitated transactions for receivables denominated in 58 currencies with obligors in more than 175 countries making it the largest non-bank trade finance platform globally.
The deal will see Adrian Katz remain as Finacity CEO and substantive equity holder, working closely with the leadership of White Oak Global Advisors. With this acquisition White Oak and its affiliates will have over 215 professionals focused on asset-based lending offering trade receivables securitization and a variety of ABL products including invoice discounting, factoring, trade finance, supply chain finance, lender finance and import-export finance.
The acquisition will accelerate White Oak’s drive into the $30 trillion market for asset-based working capital solutions. Finacity will operate as a standalone business but will work closely with White Oak in a number of areas where there are synergies – including White Oak deploying institutional capital on Finacity’s platform.
White Oak is an SEC-registered investment advisor and has over $10 billion in balance sheet assets. It offers over 20 lending products including SME business lending, commercial finance, equipment leasing, structured finance and other specialty lending solutions for the benefit of borrowers.
Finacity is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut and will be rebranded as White Oak Finacity. White Oak’s interest in acquiring Finacity has been long-standing – dating from before the business’ original sale in 2018.
Andre Hakkak, CEO of White Oak Global Advisors, said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming Finacity to the White Oak family. Finacity is a market leader and there are significant synergies between their work and the work we are already doing at White Oak.
“This acquisition further demonstrates White Oak’s commitment to being a leading global player in asset-backed capital solutions which is integral to the functioning of the global economy. In particular, Finacity’s experience in making securitization of accounts receivable and consumer assets less complex and more cost-effective will provide significant advantage to our clients.
“We look forward to working closely with Adrian and the team at Finacity as we embark on this new partnership.”
Adrian Katz, CEO of Finacity Corporation, said:
“Everyone at Finacity is excited to be starting this new chapter of our story as part of White Oak. We have known the leadership at White Oak for a long time and are convinced that this move is absolutely the right one to enable Finacity to thrive.
“I am particularly excited about the new opportunities that collaboration with White Oak will open up through the combination of our market expertise and global scale.”

Vercel Brings New Agent Framework, Full-Stack Capabilities, and Enterprise Controls to Its Agentic Infrastructure Platform17.6.2026 12:13:00 CEST | Press release
As agents become the primary way software is built and deployed, Vercel connects its frontend, backend, and agent tooling into a single platform for shipping and running agents at scale. Today at Ship, its annual conference, Vercel introduced a set of new products that deepen its agentic infrastructure platform trusted by DoorDash, Helly Hansen, OpenAI, Stripe, and The Weather Company. Founder and CEO Guillermo Rauch and other Vercel leaders unveiled the lineup on stage, anchored by three shifts the products address: agents are now the dominant way software gets deployed, every application is becoming agentic, and enterprises need to run agents in production securely and at scale. The transition is well underway. Six months ago, fewer than three percent of deployments to Vercel infrastructure were triggered by coding agents. Agents now account for more than half. Token volume through Vercel's AI Gateway has grown from roughly two trillion to twenty trillion per month over the same peri
NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
One system unifies NIQ’s global data, models, and knowledge so marketers move from insight to impact faster, with deeper intelligence, at scale. NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making. Marketing has never been more complex. Channels keep multiplying, data sits in silos, and the pressure to prove ROI keeps climbing. As a result, most teams still stitch insight and action together by hand, losing time and confidence at every handoff. NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, G
Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
