Private Equity Funds and Guidance for Schlesinger

Data collection and research services provider Schlesinger Group has partnered with private equity firm Gauge Capital to help fund acquisitions to grow its geographical scope and service capabilities.

Gauge will provide financial support and strategic guidance, and Schlesinger's existing brand and team will remain in place.

CEO Steve Schlesinger (pictured top left) says he and partner Mike Sullivan (top right) are working with the leadership team to build the next chapter in the company's development, and the new partner firm is a good cultural fit and 'provides the best opportunity for us to achieve these goals'. Gauge's resources and expertise will help the drive for 'increased capabilities and faster expansion, innovation, and talent acquisition'. Gauge co-founder & Managing Partner Tom McKelvey (below) says Schlesinger has demonstrated 'steady growth, strong partnerships with its client base and an enviable reputation for quality'.

Schlesinger Group has already been busy in 2019: in January it announced partnerships with Civicom and Voxpopme; in March it acquired data collection firm Baltimore Research; and two weeks ago it announced three hires in the USA at VP level.
