Magnit, an Integrated Workforce Management Platform Provider, Welcomes Doug Barnett as Chief Financial Officer

San Francisco, CA — December 6, 2022 Renovata & Company is pleased to announce the placement of Doug Barnett as chief financial officer of Magnit (previously PRO Unlimited), a modern workforce management provider with an industry-leading platform that employs more than 3,000 individuals globally and manages labor spend in 40 countries.

The company has had 30 years of organic, double-digit, profitable growth. Backed by EQT Partners, Magnit differentiates itself with a focus on high-skill labor, a vendor-neutral approach, and a unique platform of solutions including software as-a-service (SaaS), desktop as-a-service (DaaS), professional services and the industry’s largest data repository. Magnit’s full suite of offerings will be supported by organic and non-organic growth via its partnership with EQT.

The Magnit platform enables business leaders to think more strategically when managing contingent workers, which can reduce program spending by up to 40%. It eliminates the complexity of deploying disparate point products while giving companies the most flexibility. Another important strength in today’s marketplace is Magnit’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and vendor neutrality.

“Doug is an experienced business builder and finance executive for private equity-backed software and technology companies,” says Joanna Chang, Renovata & Company partner. “His global experience, plus his depth in M&A, will be an asset to Magnit as the business continues to grow.”

Prior to joining Magnit, Barnett was executive vice president and chief financial officer for Sabre Corporation, a public software and technology company in the global travel industry. Before that, he was chief financial officer at Informatica, formerly backed by Permira, a $5B leader in enterprise cloud data management. Barnett has also served as chief financial officer for TriZetto Corporation (formerly backed by Apax) and UGS Corporation (formerly backed by Bain Capital).
