Consecutive quarters of 60%+ bookings growth, the acquisition of In Mind Cloud and an expanded executive team highlight a successful year

Zilliant, the leader in pricing lifecycle management, today announced it recently concluded a year of rapid growth, delivering two consecutive quarters of 60%+ growth in year-over-year bookings.

The company is positioned for continued record growth in 2024 after hiring several proven industry leaders to round out the executive team and making key technology investments in 2023. Zilliant also received an additional growth investment from its financial sponsor, Madison Dearborn Partners, to accelerate their vision.

“Pricing is a critical strategic process for every business and its importance has been magnified by shifts in the global economy,” said Zilliant CEO Pascal Yammine. “At Zilliant we’re honored to be trusted by some of the largest brands in the world as they transform their pricing lifecycle.”

Acquisition of In Mind Cloud Draws Additional Funding

In December 2023, Zilliant announced the acquisition of In Mind Cloud. In Mind Cloud’s next-generation CPQ complements Zilliant’s leading pricing optimization, pricing management and revenue intelligence software to help customers deliver the right price to the right customer at the right time.

Following the acquisition, Madison Dearborn Partners, the Chicago-based private equity investment firm that acquired Zilliant in 2021, increased its investment by $35 million to accelerate product enhancements and other growth initiatives as the company pushes towards its vision of helping customers drive profitable growth by unlocking the power of pricing.
