Safe Software and JMI Equity Partnership

After three decades of exceptional leadership and dedication, Dale Lutz, co-CEO and co-founder of Safe Software, is transitioning into a new role within the company. Dale has chosen to step down from his leadership position as co-CEO to focus more intently on FME, Safe Software’s flagship product. This shift represents a significant milestone in Dale’s career, marking a new chapter where he will delve deeper into product innovation and development.

In light of this transition, Don Murray will continue his role as the sole CEO of Safe Software. Concurrently, we are excited to share that JMI Equity (JMI), a growth equity firm known for investing in leading software companies, has made a strategic growth investment in Safe Software. This investment is a recognition of our enduring success and the potential for future growth. The entire team at Safe Software is incredibly proud of what we have accomplished over the last 30 years and looks forward to the exciting opportunities and advancements that await us as we step into the future.

Safe Software remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering individuals and enterprises to maximize the value of their information, including spatial data. Our collaboration with JMI Equity aligns with our long-term vision of fostering a connected, informed, and innovative future. With a history of profitability since our inception in 1993, we are in a strong position to expand our reach in the enterprise sector and continue to provide innovative data integration solutions.

As we embark on this new phase, we are energized by the prospects that lie ahead. With Dale Lutz focusing on product development and our partnership with JMI Equity, along with our ongoing commitment to excellence, Safe Software is poised for even greater achievements in the field of enterprise data integration.
