We plan to use the funds raised to bolster organic growth with acquisitions to create unparalleled career development opportunities for our people and continue providing the best service to our customers. We see HTEC as the place where the best talent can reach their full potential, and are confident that with Brighton Park’s support, we will build HTEC into one of the most impressive global technology consulting companies.”
