H.I.G. Capital, a global alternative investment firm with $67 billion of capital under management, has strengthened its portfolio with two significant transactions in March 2025, continuing its active investment strategy across diverse sectors.
Event Management Merger
On 13 March, H.I.G. announced a strategic investment to facilitate the merger of two leading destination management companies, 360 Destination Group (360DG) and CSI DMC (CSI).
Both companies specialise in providing end-to-end event services for large corporate events, incentive trips, and conferences across the United States and international markets.
The combined entity will serve customers across 46 destinations globally, offering services including décor design, food and beverage management, entertainment, and transportation.
Trevor Hanks, Managing Partner of 360DG, called the investment “a significant milestone” that would allow the company to “extend our reach and elevate the experiences we provide to our clients.”
Hope Valentine, President of CSI, added that the merger would enable the companies to “leverage our complementary strengths” while continuing to provide “extraordinary events across an even larger geographic footprint.”
Andrey Vakhovskiy, Managing Director at H.I.G., described the transaction as creating “the leading event services platform in the destination management industry.”
Technology Solutions Acquisition
Additionally, H.I.G. completed its acquisition of Quisitive Technology Solutions Inc., a premier Microsoft Cloud and AI solutions provider headquartered in Dallas.
Quisitive, founded in 2016, provides digital transformation services, managed services, and AI solutions to mid-size and enterprise clients. The company employs nearly 500 people globally and specialises in helping clients utilise Microsoft Cloud solutions to modernise applications, streamline business processes, and enhance data capabilities.
Mike Reinhart, CEO of Quisitive, will continue to lead the company. He described the partnership with H.I.G. as “an acknowledgement of the trusted and cutting-edge advisory and support services our employees provide to clients as they navigate critical technology evolution.”
Kevin Van Culin, Managing Director at H.I.G., expressed admiration for Quisitive’s “differentiation in its scale and depth of technical offerings across the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem,” including products such as Dynamics, Power BI, Azure, Copilot, and Fabric.
Investment Strategy
These March transactions follow other recent H.I.G. activities, including the February completion of the sale of its portfolio company Soleo Health and a strategic investment in the HELLER Group, a German machine tool manufacturer.
H.I.G. has been actively expanding its global footprint with offices across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia. The firm’s diverse investment approach spans private equity, real estate, debt financing, and infrastructure.
Since its founding in 1993, H.I.G. has invested in and managed more than 400 companies worldwide. Its current portfolio includes more than 100 companies with combined sales exceeding $53 billion.
