We look forward to working closely with Federico and the full team in partnership with Hellman & Friedman to drive further growth and deliver exceptional value to its customers.”
Blake Kleinman, Partner at Hellman & Friedman, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Silver Lake as an investor in TeamSystem as we set our sights on the next phase of growth for the business. We have been impressed by TeamSystem’s performance since our initial investment in 2016. Federico Leproux and his team have done an outstanding job to strengthen TeamSystem’s offering and more than triple the company’s revenues. Our investment in TeamSystem which started over seven years ago is a great example of H&F’s approach to long-term value creation.
