Indicium and Mesh-AI Join Forces to Create a Global Data and AI Powerhouse

Nov 4, 2025

Backed by Columbia Capital , the combined organization brings together deep expertise, cutting-edge technology, and world-class talent to accelerate enterprise transformation across the Americas, Europe, and Latin America (LATAM). Both brands will continue to operate independently until Q1 2026, when the new brand, Indicium AI, will be officially launched and business operations will be integrated. A Strategic Partnership for the Future of Enterprise AI The union brings together two leaders at the forefront of data and AI innovation with clients such as National Grid, Experian, PepsiCo, and Roche. Both companies drive enterprise transformation through AI and serve enterprises across Financial Services, Energy & Utilities, Pharma, Retail & CPG, Manufacturing, and Media, among others. Indicium's expertise in data modernization and AI execution joins Mesh-AI's strategic capability in enterprise data and AI. Together, they deliver end-to-end solutions that help Fortune 500 and global enterprises unlock measurable value from data and AI. “We're incredibly excited to bring these two innovative companies together,” said Jason Booma, Partner at Columbia Capital. “This integration combines exceptional talent, technology, and vision to address the most pressing data and AI challenges facing enterprises today. Together, we seek to create an unparalleled suite of solutions to enable enterprises to accelerate data and AI transformation on a global scale.” Kelly Manthey has been appointed Global CEO of Indicium AI. A proven leader with over 25 years of experience, she previously served as CEO of Kin + Carta, where she led the global consultancy and operations across multiple markets.

By uniting the exceptional talents of Indicium and Mesh-AI, we are creating an unparalleled customer proposition,” said Kelly Manthey. “We combine world-class expertise, technology, and talent to accelerate enterprise transformation and unlock measurable value from data and AI for the enterprise with unmatched clarity, speed, and capability.” Matheus Dellagnelo, former CEO of Indicium, will serve as CEO Americas, and Jacob Parsons, former CEO of Mesh-AI, will serve as CEO Europe. Partnering with the Best to Drive Innovation The combined company continues to collaborate closely with industry leaders including Databricks, AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft to deliver responsible, scalable innovation for enterprises worldwide. Databricks Ventures invested in Indicium in September 2025 to advance shared goals in data modernization and enterprise AI transformation. “Our recent investment in Indicium reflects a shared commitment to shaping the future of enterprise AI,” said Kori O'Brien, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships at Databricks. “We've seen firsthand how Indicium delivers data and AI transformation on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform with speed, precision, and measurable results. Now, with the creation of Indicium AI, they are poised to drive even more customer value and scale.” A New Era for Data and AI With an expanded presence across the Americas, Europe, and LATAM, this integration enhances the company's ability to serve multinational enterprises.
