Hoosier Data and Analytics Firm Acquired

Q5 Founder and CEO Maria Marsala Herlihy will now serve as global head of data and analytics for N2Growth.

Pennsylvania-based leadership and talent advisory firm N2Growth has acquired an interest in Q5 Division, a predictive data and analytics firm based in Indiana. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, though N2Growth says the acquisition could create as many as 20 jobs this year.

N2Growth says the acquired company will now be known as Q5, an N2Growth company, which will allow Q5 to preserve its women-owned status. Q5 was founded by Maria Marsala Herlihy, who will now serve as global head of data and analytics for N2Growth.

"We are thrilled to have found a global partner that mirrors our culture and values," said Herlihy. "The synergies between N2Growth’s Digital Transformation Practice and our Data and Analytics capabilities were so clear from the outset that it was a natural evolution for Q5 to merge with N2Growth."

N2Growth did not state whether any jobs would be affected by the deal.
