Diligent, the SaaS solutions provider, has acquired Insightia, an analytics data provider specialising in proxy voting and corporate governance.
The acquisition bolsters Diligent’s data, analytics and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) offerings to drive better decision-making in shareholder activism, proxy voting and corporate governance.

Bringing together Diligent’s leading governance, analytics and ESG solutions with Insightia’s offerings will give clients access to organisational risk assessments and data tools in areas spanning board composition, executive compensation, supply chain due diligence, and ESG standards and frameworks.
Brian Stafford, CEO of Diligent, says: “We are so pleased to bring onboard Insightia’s deep experience and market-leading intelligent analytics, particularly against the backdrop of a marketplace where shareholder engagement is rapidly evolving.”
Kerry Pogue, co-founder and CEO of Insightia, comments: “Combining our capabilities with Diligent’s governance, analytics and ESG solutions is a compelling next step as we look to scale our offerings globally for the benefit of our clients.”
