New York – November 23, 2021– AEA Investors’ (“AEA” or the “Firm”) Middle Market Private Equity team announced last week that its fund has closed the acquisition of Hero Digital Holdings, LLC (“Hero Digital” or the “Company”). Hero Digital is a leading customer experience focused consultancy solving the digital transformation needs of Fortune 1000 clients across the technology, financial services, health & wellness and consumer & retail verticals. The Company offers an end-to-end suite of capabilities including digital strategy, design, engineering and data & insights, working directly with marketing and information technology executives on mission-critical projects to enhance front-end experiences across the customer lifecycle. Hero Digital’s success comes from helping leading companies who are embracing digital transformation to create new value for people and business, powered by a vibrant, diverse and high-performing company culture. The investment in Hero Digital represents an exciting opportunity to invest in the large and highly fragmented digital transformation and information technology services industry, which we believe is positioned to benefit from strong secular growth trends as companies transform the way they interact with their customers and manage a rapidly evolving set of technology ecosystems.
