Safeguard Global, a world leader in driving long-term growth through constant innovation of global workforce deployment for businesses, today announced it has secured a significant growth equity investment from Accel-KKR, a leading Silicon Valley-based investment firm.

Multinational companies are desperately seeking partners that are innovating to solve incredibly complex business challenges, and they are moving away from the industry behemoths that are mostly just focused on driving next-quarter sales. Safeguard Global has a platform-centric vision that enables multinational employers to make decisions at the intersection of their employees and business. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Accel-KKR and leverage their experience and resources to help Safeguard Global reach new heights.
