Verint Adopts Unified Brand After Calabrio Merger
Verint announced that the combined organization resulting from its merger with Calabrio will operate under the single corporate name Verint. The move aims to provide a clear, consistent experience for customers as the business accelerates its CX automation vision. Calabrio product names will continue, with solutions supported and enhanced within the Verint CX Automation Platform. The announcement follows Thoma Bravo's $2 billion acquisition of Verint, which closed in November 2025, consolidating Verint, Calabrio, Medallia, and Aisera under one private equity portfolio. The unified company leverages global scale, extensive CX data assets, workforce engagement solutions, AI-powered bots, and domain expertise. Leadership changes include Mike Lipps as chairman and interim CEO, with Dan Bodner moving to an advisory role. The consolidation reflects a broader trend of CX platform convergence to eliminate fragmented tools and unify customer interactions.
