“Sqware Peg is a pioneer in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Ryan Westwood, CEO of Simplus. “We are thrilled to work with the talented leadership of Sqware Peg and combine forces to further grow our presence and continue making an impact in the global Salesforce marketplace. We appreciate the continued support of Salesforce Ventures, who has been an incredible partner to both Sqware Peg and Simplus.”

Reid Meldrum, managing director of Sqware Peg, will become a prominent Simplus shareholder as part of the acquisition, according to a release from Simplus. “I am thankful for the opportunity I had almost four years ago to lead Sqware Peg through to this next phase of growth," Meldrum said.
