Jeff Livney, Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Servy, said, “I first want to thank all of our stakeholders, including our airport partners, developers, concessionaires, and shareholders, for their continued support since the launch of Servy in 2014. Over the past decade, our proposition has grown from launching at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2015 to serving more than 80 airports worldwide. Our acquisition by GrayMatter is the next chapter in our story, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. GrayMatter’s deep domain expertise in the airport commercial space allows us to deliver consistently high standards of service, adapt to the ever-evolving needs of our customers, and enhance travel hospitality at a global scale.”
