The company
Founded in 1997, K2 is a leader in the provision of human capital, talent and solutions to global corporations and systems integrators operating in the enormous and high growth ERP and cloud technology environments. The business serves over 520 clients globally from its 750,000 contractors across 29 offices in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific. K2 operates in a large addressable market which is growing rapidly, offering considerable opportunities for organic growth as well as market consolidation.
The Inflexion investment
Inflexion’s initial minority investment in March 2017 enabled the business to pursue several international acquisitions and strength its operations. The next stage of the firm’s expansion will continue to be supported by Inflexion through its Buyout Fund VI, with Partnership Capital exiting its stake following an independently managed process.
The Inflexion difference
Over the past five years Inflexion has worked closely with K2 to develop an international offering of scale, completing five add-on acquisitions in the US, Asia, and Europe to broaden K2’s product and geographic offering. Inflexion also supported significant investment into talent, technology, and infrastructure, while Inflexion’s local teams provided strong on-the-ground expertise in North America and Latin America. Inflexion’s Latin America team also provided significant support to K2 which helped grow the business in this key market.
Inflexion is continuing to support K2's ambitious growth plans in a fast-growing international market.
We’ve taken our business to the next level, with Inflexion’s support. Their deep sector knowledge and international presence have been invaluable as we’ve grown. A special mention goes to the entire K2 team and community across the globe; their expertise, passion and ambition combined with Inflexion’s support has created a best-in-class provider of human capital solutions in the Enterprise applications space. I look forward to continuing to accelerate our growth internationally.
Antonio Gulino,
CEO, K2 Partnering Solutions
