History[edit]
Transversal was founded in 1998 by Davin Yap and David MacKay, researchers at the University of Cambridge, to develop a business application for answering customers' questions. Yap served as CEO until 2003 and again from 2005 to 2014, when he was replaced by company executive Heather Richards.[1][2][3]
In 2007, Transversal was named one of the UK's 20 fastest-growing venture companies.[4] During the 2010s it broadened its geographical reach by opening offices in Australia, Germany and the United States.[5][6]
In 2019, Transversal was acquired by Verint Systems.
