“I am very excited to be joining the Alantra Technology team,” said Cronin. “As the emphasis on data and information management increases for enterprises across the world, the Alantra platform allows me to continue to focus on this fast-growing area of Enterprise Software, but with the resources to compete for larger deals on a global basis,” he concluded.
