Latin America. Navori Labs announced the strategic acquisition of Signagelive, marking the start of a transformative new stage in the digital signage software industry. This merger creates the world's largest independent provider of channel CMS platforms (by installed base), bringing together two innovation leaders to set new standards and benchmarks in the industry.
By the end of 2025, the joint organization will have more than 45 developers dedicated exclusively to delivering scalable, flexible, and data-centric signage technology. With an API-based headless CMS architecture, with advanced data integration, AI-based analytics, and media monetization capabilities, the new Navori Labs Group is designed specifically for forward-thinking mid-to-large customers, especially those operating in dynamic, content-driven environments such as retail media.
Executive leadership team with a track record of innovation
Former Signagelive CEO Jason Cremins and Chief Commercial Officer Frank Larsen will complement Navori Labs Group's executive leadership team, around Jeffrey Weitzman, Group Chief Executive Officer, bringing their expertise to drive the company's strategic growth. In addition, Marc Benson, Signagelive's long-time Chief Technology Officer, will continue to be a key pillar of the Group's technology leadership.
"What we've built is so much more than the sum of its parts," Jeff Weitzman said. "We have combined extensive experience, bold vision and operational excellence into a leadership team that is truly unmatched in CMS innovation and industry knowledge."
A truly global independent software vendor (ISV)
Navori Labs now operates with a global presence, serving clients with dedicated teams in Lausanne (Switzerland), Cambridge (UK), Montreal (Canada), Copenhagen (Denmark), Mexico City (Mexico), Dubai (Saudi Arabia), Riyadh (South Africa), India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Paris and Australia, among other locations. The company maintains its headquarters in Lausanne, while enhancing its local support and regional sales presence on all continents.
"This combination is a catalyst for transformation. It empowers our employees, drives our partners, and delivers exponential value to our customers and prospects around the world," said Jason Cremins, highlighting the impact across the ecosystem.
Accelerated growth and strategic vision
This acquisition, made just six months after the addition of Navori Labs to Maguar Capital's portfolio, underlines the company's growth strategy. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to expand both organically and through new mergers and acquisitions, especially in North America and EMEA, staying true to its partner-first philosophy and software-centric DNA.
On Navori's side, the transaction was advised by PwC (Financial Due Diligence), Valantic (Technical Due Diligence), Hogan Lovells and NKF (Legal Affairs), Goodwin (Legal Financing) and KPMG (Tax and Structuring). Kartesia provided the debt financing for the transaction.
