The company is headquartered in Costa Mesa, Calif., with offices in 16 cities throughout North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America.
“J.D. Power is one of the most recognized brands in the world, synonymous with a deep understanding of real-world customer experience, and it provides trusted insight that businesses of every type need in order to make critical strategic decisions,” said Scott Crabill, a Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo. “More recently, the company has expanded its leadership to include globally recognized experts in several industries, and it has dramatically expanded its analytics and product offerings, leveraging AI, the cloud and big data in ways that really showcase the brand’s significant near-term and long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with Dave Habiger and his team to further accelerate the business and build even greater value for J.D. Power’s employees, customers and partners globally.”
“We saw J.D. Power as an iconic brand with strong upside potential and have been greatly impressed with the management team’s accelerating the digitization of the platform, including the successful implementation of AI initiatives and introduction of innovative analytics products,” said Joseph Pacini, a spokesperson for London-based XIO Group. “As we exit our investment, we wish them every success in the years ahead.”
