IMC, according to Ryan Cotton, managing director at Bain, has the capabilities and reach that provide best-in-class productivity for buyers and sellers.
The company is “well-positioned for the next phase of growth as the nexus of commerce for the furnishing, home décor and gift industries,” said Kaj Vazales, managing director at Oaktree.
