Press release -
BTS Group AB acquires all the businesses of Fenestra, Inc.
Stockholm, Sweden and Stamford, CT, USA — BTS GROUP AB (publ) – announced that it has signed a binding agreement to acquire all the businesses of Fenestra, Inc., a global provider of premier technology-enhanced assessment and leadership development centers and solutions.
“This acquisition marks an important step moving BTS towards achieving our vision to be the global leader in accelerating strategic alignment and execution with focus on building capability,” says Henrik Ekelund, President and CEO of BTS Group AB.
The Fenestra acquisition positions BTS firmly in a rapidly growing assessment market, which is a natural extension of its leading position in the strategy execution and alignment, leadership development, and sales transformation markets. By adding Fenestra to its existing assessment capabilities, BTS moves from a limited to full scope player in the assessment market with the potential to deliver market-changing solutions. Fenestra’s virtual assessment capabilities will leverage BTS’s simulation and digital expertise creating real value for BTS customers.
Identifying the right talent is critical to today’s businesses, but traditional assessment methods are lagging behind and do not leverage digital technology. Together with Fenestra, BTS will offer disruptive and highly effective solutions in this space.
“I could not have imagined a more exciting partner than BTS,” reflects Sandra B. Hartog, Ph.D., CEO of Fenestra Inc. “We share the same customer-centric business model, approach to technological innovation in the talent management field, content development methodology, and, especially, core values. This merger will bring tremendous value to our customers, our teams, and our various stakeholders.”
“We are excited to welcome Fenestra into the BTS family. Fenestra has a highly innovative and world leading assessment solution portfolio. The combination of our two organizations builds a stronger foundation for BTS’s and Fenestra’s future growth,” concludes Henrik Ekelund.
