CD&R funds acquired a 60% stake in Capco in July 2017<\/span> in a partnership transaction with the seller, FIS, which retained a 40% ownership interest in the company. CD&R Operating Partner Russ Fradin, who previously served as CEO of SunGard Data Systems (sold to FIS in 2015), has served as Chairman of Capco since CD&R’s initial investment.

“We believe Capco is representative of our strategy in technology-related professional services, which tends to focus on businesses serving complex markets where we believe CD&R can bring operational and strategic experience,” said CD&R Partner Stephen Shapiro. “We would like to thank the entire Capco team, led by Lance Levy<\/span>, for its significant effort in building a consulting organization with a dynamic culture and compelling service offering, and we wish them great success in the future.”<\/p>\n
