Rob Young, Principal at OpenGate Capital, said: “InRule has been an excellent partner over the past three years with strong product, customer and revenue growth. It is a pleasure to work with Rik and the entire management team through multiple “acquisitions and operations” Improve. InRule’s people and products are world-class, and I look forward to seeing the company continue to succeed in its next chapter. ”
