NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wildcat Capital Management, a New York-based family office, announced today that it has formed Wink Tech in partnership with Corey Weiner in order to acquire platform companies in the managed IT services and digital transformation industries.
Weiner brings nearly two decades of successful leadership experience in the technology services market, having most recently served as the President of Media & Technology at Advantage Solutions, a leading international provider of technology-enabled and data-driven sales and marketing services. Prior to Advantage, Weiner was the CEO of Jun Group, an industry-leading technology business in the mobile advertising market that was acquired by Advantage Solutions in 2018.
Wink Tech will pursue acquisitions in the managed IT services and digital transformation sectors, and will target platform companies with loyal customer relationships and differentiated service offerings that can serve as platforms for growth in a fragmented and changing industry landscape.

"Wildcat has a long and successful track record of backing experienced management teams to build businesses without the constraints of a typical institutional investor. Their flexible investment horizon and partnership-centric approach allows their management partners to make the right long-term decisions to help drive growth, which I view as crucial for building a differentiated platform in this evolving industry."
Weiner added, "Wildcat and I have a shared view that now is an attractive time to build a differentiated IT Services platform. Digital transformation is not just a trend but a fundamental shift in business operations while managed IT services are poised to be the backbone of this new era. Wink Tech will aim to provide trusted advice and leadership to customers navigating an increasingly complex suite of technology solutions."
Drew Tarlow, Head of Private Investments at Wildcat said, "Corey has built an impressive reputation as a seasoned entrepreneur and leader in the technology services sector.
