CEO of Kainos, Brendan Mooney, commented: “It has been a privilege to work alongside the Davis Pier team in delivering solutions for our shared clients that create tangible social impact for citizens. Bringing our two teams together is a natural next step in the relationship, and we are excited by the opportunities this creates for our clients, for our new and existing colleagues, and for our business in Canada.”
