Driven by the urgent need to modernize aging infrastructure, US utility companies are significantly increasing investments in upgrading and expanding their transmission and distribution networks. In response to this critical demand, Post Capital Partners has announced a strategic investment in Agile Sourcing Partners, Inc., a leader in business process outsourcing (BPO). This partnership is set to empower Agile Sourcing Partners to further enhance its innovative solutions for the electric and gas utility, commercial construction, security, and telecommunications sectors. Agile Sourcing Partners, headquartered in Corona, CA, is recognized for its expertise in driving operational efficiencies through comprehensive supply chain, administrative, and professional services.
Agile Sourcing Partners has established itself as a pivotal player in helping utility companies navigate the complexities of infrastructure upgrades amidst rising costs and budgetary constraints. Since its inception in 2006, the company has focused on delivering tangible efficiencies to its clients’ operations. Leveraging proprietary processes that incorporate cutting-edge technology, automation, and data analytics, Agile Sourcing Partners offers a suite of core services designed to optimize every aspect of the supply chain. These services encompass materials management, supply chain logistics and optimization, strategic supplier and spend management, and professional staffing support, all tailored to meet the unique challenges of the industries it serves.
Mitch Davidson, Managing Director at Post Capital, highlighted the strategic rationale behind the investment, stating, “Agile Sourcing Partners has rightfully earned its reputation as a ‘thought-leader’ in developing and implementing adaptable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions. This is especially crucial for an industry grappling with the urgent need to modernize long-neglected infrastructure.” Davidson further acknowledged the strength of Agile’s leadership and team: “Maria Thompson has cultivated an exceptional team of experts in supply chain management, project management, data analytics, and accounting. Moreover, the company’s culture is deeply rooted in a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and transparency with clients. We are excited to support Maria and her team in their next phase of growth.”
Diversity and inclusion are not just corporate buzzwords at Agile Sourcing Partners; they are fundamental principles deeply embedded in the company’s DNA. CEO Maria Thompson has been a consistent advocate for corporate inclusion, and this commitment is reflected in the company’s workforce. An impressive 80% of Agile’s 225 employees come from diverse backgrounds and minority communities, including key leaders like CEO Maria Thompson and CFO Courtney Gaik. Thompson emphasizes, “A core mission at Agile is to foster wealth and prosperity within diverse communities nationwide. Partnering with Mitch Davidson, Luis Ramirez, and the Post Capital team is significant because they recognize the value we bring to our clients and equally champion our commitment to inclusion and innovation.”
Adding further depth to Agile Sourcing Partners’ leadership, Luis Manuel Ramirez, a seasoned executive with 30 years of experience in the global power and energy infrastructure sectors, joins the company as Chairman. Ramirez’s extensive background includes serving as CEO of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and CEO of Global Power Equipment Group. Ramirez’s insights into the industry challenges are particularly relevant to Agile’s mission. “Agile Sourcing Partners has become an indispensable extension of its clients’ operations,” Ramirez noted. “By expertly managing non-core functions like supply chain and administration, Agile enables clients to concentrate their resources on core operational priorities. Having navigated these industry challenges throughout my career, I am eager to collaborate with Maria and her team to expand Agile’s solutions and address these challenges for clients across the country.”
Looking ahead, Maria Thompson outlined the company’s strategic direction: “This partnership with Post Capital, and the addition of Luis Ramirez as Chairman, will significantly accelerate our growth and enhance our client value proposition. Luis’s experience in scaling technical services teams will be invaluable as we enhance our existing services, introduce new offerings, and expand our customer base nationally.” Thompson also mentioned upcoming investments in personnel, including a new data enablement team, and the launch of additional services under its invoice management service, underscoring Agile Sourcing Partners’ commitment to continuous innovation and client success.
