Veritas Capital Announces Gainwell Technologies as the New Name for the U.S. State & Local Health and Human Services Business to be Acquired from DXC Technology
Veritas Plans to Close its Previously Announced Acquisition on October 1, 2020
NEW YORK, NY and TYSONS, VA – Veritas Capital, a leading investor in government and healthcare technology businesses, today announced Gainwell Technologies as the new name of the U.S. State & Local Health and Human Services business it plans to acquire from DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC). Veritas and DXC expect to close this transaction, which was previously announced on March 10, 2020, on October 1, 2020.
The name Gainwell signals a commitment to improving client, beneficiary and community health outcomes across the United States through innovative, efficient and reliable technology solutions and support. As a construct of the words “gain” and “well,” the name reflects the company’s mission to empower its clients through technology in order to deliver health and human services programs that enable successful health outcomes for beneficiaries nationwide.
Earlier today, DXC Technology announced that Paul Saleh, Chief Financial Officer of DXC, has been named as Chief Executive Officer of Gainwell Technologies, effective upon closing of the transaction. Paul’s proven experience and deep understanding of Gainwell’s business ideally position him to lead the organization as a stand-alone company while maintaining an unwavering commitment to Gainwell’s clients and team members throughout the transition.
“The choice of Gainwell reflects the true vision of the new company. Its trusted expertise and comprehensive technology capabilities will further benefit from the entrepreneurial spirit of a standalone company as it leads the way in developing, implementing and delivering innovative and vital technology for its clients and the communities they serve,” said Ramzi Musallam, CEO and Managing Partner of Veritas. “We look forward to supporting Gainwell Technologies as it partners with clients to navigate complex challenges and drive transformational outcomes, and to welcoming Paul and his talented team to the Veritas family.”
