LiquidHub was set up in 2000 and counts industry leaders among its clients, notably in the financial services, healthcare, and life sciences sectors. In 2014, private equity firm ChrysCapital led a $53 million Series-B investment round in LiquidHub.

“The full spectrum of Capgemini’s digital transformation solutions and services coupled with its global reach will allow us to augment and expand our offerings for our current and future clients around the world: a very exciting prospect for the entire Liquid-Hub team,” Jonathan Brassington, CEO, LiquidHub, said.
