Today we announce the acquisition of the consultancy firm Skillspark. As Skillspark becomes part of emagine, we further strengthen our business model and take an important step towards creating a leading European consultancy firm within business and IT.
This new partnership unites Anders Gratte and Zoran Covic, both Swedish business leaders who are recognized as pioneers in the development of flexible freelance-based IT consultancy services in the Nordics.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to work closely with Zoran. His professional qualities speak for themselves, and we look forward to leveraging his expertise for customers and partners on an ever-increasing scale in both Sweden and the other markets we serve. We share an ambition to challenge the traditional dynamics of the consultancy market, and we both believe that a key component to succeeding in that is developing flexible and scalable services that benefit from IT talent from around the world," says Anders Gratte, CEO of emagine.
