VXI is one of the fastest growing, privately-held business services organizations in the United States and the Philippines, and one of the few US-based customer-care organizations in China.

VXI is also backed by private equity investor Bain Capital. Our initial partnership ran from 2012 to 2016 and was the beginning of prosperous times for the company. During this period, not only did VXI expand our footprint in the US and Philippines, but we also gained ground in the Chinese and Central American markets. We also acquired Symbio, expanding our global services offering and enhancing our competitive position.

This year, Bain Capital re-invested in the organization after completing a buy-out from Carlyle. This is a rare occurrence in the private equity space and shows the level of performance VXI delivers for our clients, employees, and to shareholders.
