"This placement is a very positive indicator of how strong our company and brand are perceived in the market. It's wonderful that GIC, Siemens, Fidelity and Mubadala see ThoughtWorks to be a strong investment and this is an endorsement of the strength and relevance of our business and people," said Guo Xiao, President and Chief Executive Officer, ThoughtWorks.
"Siemens strongly believes in the growth potential of supporting the digitalization of businesses across all industries. We believe that ThoughtWorks is the right partner with outstanding capabilities. I am proud of our investment to jointly accelerate digital transformation," said Cedrik Neike, Managing Board Member of Siemens, responsible for Digital Industries and Siemens Advanta.
"As the clear market leader in digital transformation, ThoughtWorks' long term growth prospects were key to our investment decision. The company's unique offerings are pivotal to the digitization of many businesses which we see accelerating in 2021 and beyond," said Tim Breen, executive director, Technology at Mubadala.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as placement agents to ThoughtWorks in connection with this transaction. Kirkland & Ellis LLP acted as legal advisor to ThoughtWorks.
