Engage2Excel Announces the Addition of Rideau, Inc.
STATESVILLE, N.C., April 30, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Engage2Excel Group of Companies (“E2E Group”), a portfolio company of Comvest Partners (“Comvest”), has announced the addition of Rideau, Inc. (“Rideau”), a global leader of employee recognition solutions, to bolster its career experience platform. Headquartered in Montreal, Rideau provides world-class organizations with an integrated recognition platform that fuels long-term performance by increasing employee engagement and retention.
“Rideau has a rich heritage of recognition expertise and industry-leading technology and reputation in the marketplace, and we are excited about our shared vision for bringing the career experience platform to life,” said Phil Stewart, CEO of E2E Group. “We believe that Rideau’s Vistance Analytics & Learning platform can help managers and leaders measure and improve their ability to recognize others, driving more success for our 3,000+ combined clients.”
For the past 32 years, Peter Hart, President of Rideau, has been the driving force of transforming Rideau into one of the world’s largest recognition and rewards companies. E2E Group is pleased to continue to leverage Hart’s strong leadership abilities. “I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about Rideau joining the E2E Group family of companies,” said Hart. “Our mission has been to build meaningful relationships with powerful recognition solutions, and E2E Group will only help take us to the next level.”
The transaction was financially backed by Comvest, a leading middle market private equity firm. “This investment aligns with Comvest’s strategy to invest in technology-enabled businesses in the human capital management marketplace,” said Matt Gullen, Partner at Comvest. “We believe that strong tailwinds will continue as organizations increasingly emphasize how they will attract and retain their talent, and Rideau represents a highly complementary and strategic addition to E2E Group.”
Rideau has many locations in Canada, including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver, as well as offices in New York, France, and Bangalore, India. Rideau is expected to continue business as usual while leveraging the assets of E2E Group.
