Goldman Sachs Alternatives has agreed to acquire a majority stake in NAVEX from BC Partners, in a deal that also includes Blackstone as a significant minority investor. BC Partners will retain a notable stake, while Vista Equity Partners will fully exit. The transaction, terms of which were not disclosed, is expected to close later this year.
NAVEX, a leading software-as-a-service provider for ethics, risk and compliance management, has significantly expanded its global footprint under BC Partners’ ownership since 2018. The company offers a 360-degree view of enterprise, third party and ecosystem risk for enhanced regulatory compliance and proactive risk management.
F. Mark Fariborz, partner and co-head of technology at BC Partners, said, “Today, NAVEX is the global leader in ethics, risk and compliance management software, and we are proud of the success we’ve achieved in partnership with management. Together, we launched NAVEX One, the industry’s leading integrated risk and compliance platform, expanded across Europe and North America, and executed several strategic acquisitions. We look forward to partnering with Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Blackstone to support the business in its next phase of growth”.
NAVEX CEO Andrew Bates added, “BC Partners has been an exceptional partner, helping us scale our platform, grow internationally, and expand our product capabilities. We are excited to join forces with Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Blackstone, whose reach and sector expertise will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and serve risk and compliance departments globally.”
