Prometheus looks forward to working with VIZIYA's strong management team to conquer the asset management space."
Eli Weiss, Managing Director of Genstar Capital, which acquired Prometheus in May of 2019, commented, "Prometheus is one of the rare companies that is able to grow and expand during this challenging time. It is encouraging that Genstar's approach to helping its portfolio companies source and complete add-on acquisitions can be successful in this environment.
