We are excited to partner with Xexec’s founders and look forward to leveraging our significant expertise in HCM software to support Xexec’s future growth.”

Oaklins Cavendish, based in the UK, acted as advisor to Xexec Ltd. in this transaction.

The partnership will allow to us better serve our clients, bringing enhanced engagement solutions and additional resources, in particular for sales and marketing, as we continue to expand our business and pursue bolt-on acquisitions as part of our strategy to accelerate growth. We look forward to our new partnership with the Castik and Abry teams.
