CEO

Lyra Technology Group is a private equity-backed holding company that invests and operates industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.  

What sets us apart are two things: our buy and hold strategy, and our company’s autonomous management. 

1. Unlike typical Private Equity investments with a three-to-five-year liquidation strategy, we buy businesses and invest in them for the long-term. We believe in the value of our acquisitions and want to grow. 
2. We bought our companies because they already had success in the marketplace. Instead of asking them to conform to a unified platform, we allow companies to keep their team, culture and branding in place. 

We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Today, we hold a controlling stake in 110+ companies across the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Our companies employ over 3,000 team members, each led by their own management team, and provide world-class support to over 12,000 clients.
