Joe Manning
The Riverside Co. is hungry for software companies, and it has its eyes on potential targets in its Buckeye State backyard.
The software industry is not new territory for the global private equity firm, which is co-headquartered in Cleveland.
It s one of the more active of the company s seven industry specializations, said senior Riverside partner and native Clevelander Joe Manning. The firm has been buying software and IT companies for at least 15 years, completing more than 180 deals in the space. Manning works in the firm s $1.2 billion micro-cap fund out of which these investments are being made today.
