Rewarding Growth
In January 2020, Kim Craven sold his company, Lifecycle Software, to Lumine Group. Typical to many transactions, the purchase agreement included an earn-out for Kim. In this video, Kim discusses the success of the earn-out as a result of the company's continued growth and success post-acquisition.
Upward Mobility Within Lumine
Pedro Quintas founded Collab in 1999, and after growing the business for 21 years, sold to Lumine in 2020. One year later, Pedro was elevated to a Sub-Group Leader of Lumine and appointed his long-term COO to CEO. As a Sub-Group Leader, Pedro oversees the strengthening and performance of a group of companies within Lumine, including Collab.
New Beginnings
In 2018, Greg Salzman and his company, Aleyant, joined Lumine Group. Aleyant’s print automation software solutions create a solid foundation for growing print media businesses, and customer count, by automating daily print processes such as ordering, pricing, file correction, production, customer service, and more. In 2021, once realizing his team and business were in stable hands, Greg felt ready to step away and pursue a new business idea. We are proud of founders and entrepreneurs who post-acquisition, choose to chase new dreams, and we will be there to support them.
