CEO Reviews
John Rante, Executive Chairman of BluePay
“TA has been instrumental in helping our team take BluePay to the next level. We’ve built a world-class board of directors, recruited top-notch senior executives and closed four acquisitions, all while accelerating our organic growth rate. Roy Burns and Roger Kafker have worked collaboratively with BluePay to build value for all of our stakeholders.”
Pierre-Jean Beylier, CEO of Speedcast
“Despite owning a controlling share, TA has always approached our relationship as a partner, not an ‘owner’, allowing us to run the business day-to-day. Since partnering with TA, Ed Sippel, Michael Berk and Tony Marsh have helped us complete 11 acquisitions, five debt deals, and an IPO.”
Chris Bayne, Chief Executive Officer of The Access Group
“Morgan Seigler and Ajit Nedungadi have helped drive and support our growth in a number of ways, including identifying and recruiting an outstanding team, executing on multiple accretive acquisitions and strategically improving operations.”
