With this transaction, Bill Gosling Outsourcing gains a strong foothold in the coveted Indian BPO market, while MattsenKumar will be merged into its global footprint to further enhance service delivery capabilities.

Together, the two organizations will offer a comprehensive suite of BPO services to clients across a wide range of industries, the statement said.
“We are thrilled to welcome the MattsenKumar team to the Bill Gosling flock,” said Dave Rae, CEO of Bill Gosling Outsourcing. “Our partnership will allow us to expand our capabilities in key areas of strategic focus to provide our clients with a broader array of value-add services.” MattsenKumar’s CEO, Mike Mattsen, added, “We are excited to join BGO and become part of a leading global player in the customer experience segment. BGO’s complementary services and geographic footprint will provide us with the opportunity to expand our relationships and provide additional value to our long-tenured customers.”
The acquisition will bring together over 5,500 employees across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The two organizations will share best practices, technology, and talent to drive innovation and growth. Management of both BGO and MK have retained significant ownership stakes in the combined organization.
“Mike, and his business partner Aarati Kumar, will continue to run our Indian business while joining Bill Gosling Outsourcing as shareholders,” Rae added.
