Sean Thompson, CEO

“Since partnering with Noble Rock, NAVEX has doubled. We increased our investment in new technology, acquired several companies, and honed our go-to-market programs. Whit and Bill played key roles in these initiatives and consistently encouraged us to think even bigger. From my experiences at SAP, Microsoft, and different startups Noble Rock is remarkable for their strategic insights, common sense, and personal integrity.”
