LONDON—Digital Vision has been acquired by its management team of Kelvin Bolah, Greg Holland and Claes Westerlund. The three bought it out from Swedish company Image Systems for 6.1 Million SEK (US$809,071).
Bolah will become CEO, while Holland takes the role of Worldwide Vice President of Sales and Claes Westerlund becomes Worldwide Vice President of Operations. As part of the acquisition the entire Digital Vision team will remain with the new company, as will all of the company’s offices in London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York and Sweden.
