Aechelon CEO Ignacio “Nacho” Sanz-Pastor said Sagewind’s expertise will enable the company to scale its operations and drive growth.
“In today’s environment, the importance of training and readiness is at an all-time high. As the demand for immersive simulation products grows, Aechelon is uniquely positioned to lead the way with its visualization capabilities,” said Raj Kanodia, managing director of Sagewind Capital.
“We are proud to partner with Nacho and his team to support mission-critical military training,” added Kanodia.
