The firm will use the new capital to expand in the U.S., and to grow its workforce of over 350 employees to more than 500, including 100 U.S. staff over the next year, said CEO Chris Ford.

Talking point: Electric Mind installs and runs technology systems for clients, which use them to operate and automate parts of their businesses. Consulting firms were among the early winners of the generative AI boom, as companies scrambled to adopt the technology under pressure from boards and markets.
