Here’s an excerpt from both elite executives detailing Gates’ excitement about the acquisition and Goodman commenting on the natural chemistry that will help to ease the companies together:

John Goodman: “Tiffanny and I began our discussions regarding an acquisition a few months ago. It was clear to me from our initial discussion that we were aligned on the things that matter most, namely our strategy, culture, and people.”

Tiffanny Gates: “As we close this deal and begin to work on what we are going to go after together, the sum of the parts will greatly exceed all expectations. I am excited about the strategic direction. It’s going to be fun to put together.”
