We are an investment holding company specializing in the business process outsourcing and technology sectors. We have an unbroken track record of over a decade in generating positive returns on each investment we have made. We pride ourselves on our extensive operational focus throughout the investing cycle, and have never incurred loss on an investment since the inception of our partnership in 2002. Over two decades ago, we pioneered offshore labor arbitrage as an equity asset class. More recently, our portfolio companies are leading "big-data"​ driven revolutionary advances in the business process outsourcing sector, analyzing and capitalizing on complex human behavioral patterns and business process data flows.

The xQuotient, and it’s a different kind of executive coaching company. You might reasonably ask: what makes The xQuotient different? The xQuotient is purposefully designed to meet the needs of high achievers in a rapidly changing workplace and world. At The xQuotient, our worldview is rooted in a fundamental reality: the combined changes wrought by the pandemic, remote work, technology, mental health pressures, and economic turbulence require a new approach to driving performance. Based on a shared vision, more than 70 years of experience in high-performing organizations, and academic research, our methodology focuses on 3 quotients: (i) pursuing excellence in the “work” everyone performs each day (iQ), (ii) cultivating successful relationships (eQ), and (iii) prioritizing health and mental fitness (health quotient or hQ). These quotients, taken together, drive how we onboard clients, set goals, and measure growth. Our objective is for each client to solve for x, their personalized point of equilibrium, and sustained performance, as measured by The xQuotient. Just as fundamental is the personal relationship at the center of this work. Human connection - both intellectual and emotional - is critical to building trust and taking constructive action. In the parlance of 2024, it’s all about the vibe. While we share many fundamental attributes, each team member brings their own particular experience, energy, and approach to the coaching relationship.
