The company’s E-WorkBook Cloud platform, which was recently named Cloud Product of the Year at the National Technology Awards, provides critical R&D data management and lab informatics capabilities to drive innovation at over 200 large global enterprises such as Pfizer, Roche, Cargill and BASF.
David Judah led the Wallace team on the deal with assistance from Corporate Associate Jocelyn Harris-Cooke and Technology Partner Frank Jennings.
“Selling a business is both technically and emotionally challenging. David and his team provided the highest level of technical excellence needed to get our transaction completed. Throughout the process they provided constant attention and support to myself and my leadership team to help us get over the finishing line. This, to me, is what makes David, his team, and Wallace as a firm, stand out in their profession.”
