NEW YORK and CHICAGO—Avista Capital Partners has completed the acquisition of Telular, according to a news release.
As previously announced, Joe Beatty has stepped down as CEO of Telular as part of the closing. Avista Capital's Allen Yurko will act as interim CEO while the board of directors conducts a search for a permanent successor, the release noted.
“I am very pleased to be joining Telular at this exciting time,” Yurko said in the statement. “I look forward to working with Telular's strong existing management team to ensure that our customers continue to receive the very best service and solutions available.”
Yurko added that Telular will continue to pursue its plan for growth in the machine-to-machine communications sector.
