in News

With the acquisition complete and a new board in place, WSO2 is well-positioned to accelerate the company’s business and market growth worldwide

EQT Completes Acquisition of WSO2

WSO2 said today that its acquisition by EQT, first announced May 3, 2024, has completed. EQT will support WSO2’s next phase of accelerated growth and innovation by drawing on EQT’s deep experience in the software space, global network of industry experts, and dedicated digital value-creation team.

Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO

Since its inception in 2005, WSO2 has been at the forefront of building innovative software that allows organisations to seamlessly deliver digital experiences. Today, WSO2’s platform offers a complete set of market-leading solutions across integration, API management, identity & access management (IAM) and application development. Thousands of organisations, including hundreds of the world’s largest corporations, top universities, and governments, rely on WSO2’s cloud-native software as a service (SaaS) and open-source offerings to drive their digital initiatives — executing 60 trillion transactions and managing over 1 billion identities each year.

WSO2 now joins EQT’s extensive global portfolio of enterprise software companies, which includes firms such as Virtusa, Billtrust, IFS, SUSE, Storable, thinkproject, and Waystar.

 

New WSO2 Board Positions WSO2 for Accelerated Growth

With the acquisition, a new board of directors has been formed to spearhead the next stage of WSO2’s growth. Leading the board as chair is Jonas Persson, who formerly served as CEO of Microsoft Sweden and has been the chairperson for several portfolio companies like Suse, Acumatica, IFS and Sitecore. He is joined by Hari Gopalakrishnan, a partner in the EQT Private Capital Asia advisory team and Global co-head of EQT’s services sector team, and Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, who founded WSO2 and will continue his role as CEO.

“WSO2 is a strong enterprise software company that has delivered a proven track record of innovation and scaled to address the digital transformation demands of enterprises worldwide,” said Jonas Personn, WSO2 board chair. “I am excited to partner with WSO2’s management team in building on this momentum to accelerate the company’s growth and global adoption.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Jonas, Hari and the EQT team in accelerating our innovation agenda, expanding our global footprint, and empowering enterprises to thrive in the digital economy,” said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO. “With EQT’s support and the deep expertise of our new board members, we are well-positioned for this next stage of WSO2’s evolution.”
