SAN FRANCISCO & AKRON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VHT, a market leader in customer experience solutions, has announced that Alpine Investors VI, VI-A, LP and its affiliates (together “Alpine”) have made an investment in the company and named Matt DiMaria as CEO. Wes Hayden, who has served as CEO of VHT since 2012, will remain active in the business and act as a senior advisor to the company.

The investment will help VHT expand on its suite of software solutions, designed to reduce friction in the customer journey, improve customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, attract new customers, and continue its growth trajectory.
