K2 Services Doubles Down on Innovation with 2 Strategic Industry Acquisitions Backed by Majority Investment from Renovus Capital Partners
CHICAGO, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — K2 Services, a leading provider of comprehensive managed services, announced today its acquisition of Epiq Global Business Transformation Solutions (Epiq GBTS) and Forrest Solutions. These three strategic organizations will come together to form a powerful new entity poised to drive transformative impact for their professional services and legal clients. These acquisitions were supported by Renovus Capital Partners, a private equity firm with over $2 billion in assets across its sector-focused funds.
With the acquisitions of Epiq GBTS, an Epiq Global division, and Forrest Solutions, K2 is redefining how businesses mobilize — establishing itself as the operational backbone that enables organizations to focus on their core competencies. It will be uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end strategic solutions through expertly managed services — all underpinned by advanced technology that accelerates performance. The expanded managed services portfolio, covering front, middle and back-office operations, will be delivered by more than 4,500 skilled professionals through on-site, off-site and offshore capabilities. As firms navigate changing markets trends, this new entity is ready to deliver scalable, proven solutions.
“These acquisitions mark a major leap forward in our long-term road map — dramatically expanding our capacity to deliver integrated, people-driven and technology-powered solutions for our clients’ back, middle and front office operations,” said Christopher Petrini-Poli, Executive Chairman at K2 Services. “Client demand is driving this momentum. We’re redesigning, implementing and operating these support functions on our workflow automation platforms, freeing our clients to focus on increasing revenue.”
Nicholas Quil, Vice Chairman at K2 Services, shared, “Our newly formed comprehensive portfolio empowers us to deliver true end-to-end managed services, enabling us to develop forward-looking strategies with our clients.”
Lee Minkoff, Managing Director at Renovus Capital, added, “We are filling a gap in the industry by providing streamlined business and technology services that will allow clients to focus on their core revenue-generating operations and grow more profitably. We’re excited to partner with K2 Services to bring together this level of expertise to help clients modernize and strengthen their operational and technology infrastructure.”
To manage the combined business, K2 Services has appointed Michelle Deichmeister as the Chief Executive Officer of the newly formed organization. With over 35 years of experience, Deichmeister has led transformation initiatives across multiple industries. She brings extensive expertise in scaling global operations through disciplined, process-driven approaches, consistently delivering exceptional results for Fortune 500 companies, Am Law 200 firms and top financial institutions. As a proven change agent, she has successfully built and led complex managed services operations that drive efficiency, innovation and measurable client value.
“With this evolution, we are now unmistakably positioned as the premier managed services provider — delivering transformative impact across industries,” said Michelle Deichmeister, Chief Executive Officer of the new entity. “By fusing deep strategic expertise, key talent and technology-enabled managed services, we’re reshaping the future of enterprise performance for our clients.”
As organizations seek partners that can drive performance and deliver meaningful outcomes, this new entity is ready to lead — not only with end-to-end solutions that translate strategy into measurable results, but also as an advisor working with our clients to design, implement and manage their operations.
