EquaTerra and TPI, Inc. today announced the signing of their merger agreement. Closing is anticipated later in February 2006.

Additionally, the firm has selected a new name as well — Veritage — which rhymes with heritage.

ÒIt was important to our employees that we preserve the best practices, history and principles from each firm. We chose a name that leverages the expertise and learnings of each company, and one that will help position us as the leader in the outsourcing and business transformation industry,Ó commented Ed Glotzbach, CEO of the new firm post-closing. ÒVeritage will provide clients deeper market knowledge and broader functional expertise with greater global scale and innovation than either company could provide on its own.Ó

  • Corporate Development, Mark Hodges
  • Chief Financial Officer, Ron Lacy
  • Human Resources, Martha Preston

  • Knowledge Services, Mark Hodges and Peter Allen
  • Public Sector, Glenn Davidson
  • Outsourcing Management / Sourcing Management, David Karabinos
  • Global Advisory Operations, Mark Mayo
  • Americas, Bill Weathersby
  • Europe and Asia-Pacific, Duncan Aitchison
