Industry veteran and Net Results Founder and President Jeremy Steindecker, along with his team, will join GSE.
The deal comes on the heels of a strategic investment in GSE from BC Partners Credit, which enables the company to execute on its ambitious growth plan to expand and enhance its impressive talent practice and bolster its capabilities in brand services as well as property ownership and representation. The acquisition of Net Results is the initial step in GSE’s aggressive multi-pronged strategy.

Net Results also currently represents some of the most prestigious art fairs in the world for sponsorship sales and activation. The company recently showcased their extensive tennis industry experience to produce special events for the WTA Tour’s 50th anniversary and the Cincinnati Open’s 125th anniversary.
