“We have been really impressed with the team and their deep domain knowledge. The company also has a powerful vision and a clear roadmap to scale that vision internationally and across multi-cloud applications – we’re looking forward to working alongside this exceptional team to help them reach their goals.”
This investment will strengthen the company’s offering globally and increase Quality Clouds’ ability to help ServiceNow and Salesforce customers unlock the value of their investments. It follows strong growth in the USA, where 45% of Quality Clouds’ clients are based and a new team has recently been appointed.
Albert Franquesa, CEO and Co-Founder says:
“YFM Equity Partners’ tech track record was crucial for us. We see them as part of the team and welcome their strategic input. This investment, coupled with our new corporate structure, will turbo-charge the company in the coming months. Our clients will also get a boost from our ability to enable development speed, quality and security on ServiceNow and Salesforce platforms”.
YFM has a growing national portfolio of software and tech businesses, including data transformation software company Matillion, innovation intelligence provider Vypr and text analytics platform Relative Insight.

K.C. brings extensive enterprise SaaS go-to-market experience to the company following his nearly two decades tenure as executive and founder in Silicon Valley.
Mark Sutherland, Chair of the Board says:
“Against the backdrop of constant corporate digital transformation, technology leaders need to regain control of the quality and governance of their SaaS systems and platforms.
