Víctor Fernández, CEO of Emergya, commented: “Emergya will now form part of an impressive company that is undergoing a process of expansion, and we look forward to showcasing our experience and exceptional capacity for innovation. GP Bullhound’s team have been fundamental to this outcome; and their combined sector expertise and knowledge of the buyer landscape enabled us to get the best option for the company and its employees”.

Claudio Alvarez, Partner, and Jaime Sendagorta, Director, at GP Bullhound commented: “This acquisition marks a milestone in Emergya’s journey, and we are delighted at GP Bullhound to have had the opportunity to contribute to the company’s growth journey. This transaction underscores the increasing demand for AI-expertise in the digital transformation space as brands and enterprises look to leverage the power of cloud solutions”.

This transaction is further testament to GP Bullhound’s position as a leading adviser globally in the Digital Services sector, having recently advised Unlimited on its sale to Accenture, RocketMill on its sale to PMG, Goat on its sale to WPP and Team ITG on its investment from Bridgepoint, among many others. It also underlines GP Bullhound’s momentum in Spain, following recent transactions completed for clients such as Miura Partners (investment into Wikiloc), Netrivals (sold to Lengow, back by Marlin Equity Partners) and Busuu (sold to Chegg).
