Cleva CEO Rodolphe Peim said: “Over the past years, Cleva has been recognised for the quality of our solutions and its ability to carry out large-scale, transformative projects for our clients. This success represents a great source of pride for all Cleva employees.
“From our first discussions, AnaCap showed a total commitment to pursue and support our growth strategy and thus demonstrated a true alignment with our fundamentals. I am delighted to partner with AnaCap, and we look forward to this new chapter together.”
