"As we invest this fund in Europe, we will build upon nearly 40 years of experience as a growth investor, leveraging our deep sector knowledge, extensive global network, and value enhancement resources to support the growth of our portfolio companies," said Han Sikkens, Managing Director and Head of Europe at Summit Partners.
"Europe has been an integral part of Summit's global investment strategy since 2000, and we have been proud to partner with exceptional founders and management teams over that time," Han added.
