ALPINE INVESTORS ANNOUNCES SALE OF MINDFUL, A LEADING CONTACT CENTER CALLBACK TECHNOLOGY
Today, Alpine investors (“Alpine”), a people-focused private equity firm committed to building sustainable businesses, announced the completed sale of its holding company, Aware (formerly known as VHT) (“Mindful” or the “Company”), a leader in reminder automation, for Medallia, Inc. (“Medallia”), a leader in customer and employee experience. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Mindful is the leading provider of reminder technology for nearly 400 of the world’s leading brands, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and lower operating costs. Alpine acquired Mindful, then known as Virtual Hold Technology, in 2018 and named Matt DiMaria as president and CEO. By embracing Alpine’s People-First playbook, the Mindful team transformed the business, delivered over 100% revenue growth for 3 consecutive years with its new SaaS offering, and more than doubled the total turnover since the acquisition of the company.
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Alpine over the past four years,” said Matt DiMaria, CEO of Mindful. Matt joined the company from Alpine’s internal talent program which recruits experienced executives to lead its portfolio companies. “Today’s news opens an exciting new chapter for our customers and employees as part of Medallia. Together, we’re uniquely positioned to enable millions of people to get the help they need, from the brands they love, on terms they choose. »
Mindful’s transformation was guided by Alpine’s PeopleFirst playbook, led by Matt DiMaria with support from the Alpine Portfolio Operations team. PeopleFirst focuses on developing a culture that deeply engages employees in defining a company’s vision, mission, and values while building a market leadership strategy. The Mindful team fully embraced PeopleFirst to profitably double the size of the company while moving to a 97% recurring revenue business model, launching a new line of SaaS products that drove significant new customer adoption and maintaining its commitment to 100% customer satisfaction. Under Alpine ownership, Mindful has added more than 30% to its employee population and total number of active customers.
“Matt and the Mindful team have built a remarkable product, company and culture,” said Haley Beck, Principal at Alpine Investors. “Mindful’s leadership, market-leading solutions, and adoption of Alpine’s PeopleFirst philosophy and software manual have led to their notable success. We are excited to see Mindful’s continued growth through its partnership with Medallia.
Union Square Advisors and Evercore acted as financial advisors and Willkie Farr & Gallagher acted as legal advisor to Mindful.
