Insight & Approach

The on-premise audio and visual market is a mature space that faced industry-wide headwinds when COVID-19 forced much of the on-premise economy to shut down in March 2020. Vector identified Mood as market leader suffering from a short-term, exogenous dislocation, but with a great history, strong team, solid business model, and fantastic blue-chip client base. Under Vector’s ownership and recapitalization, Mood can further solidify its position as the market leader across both existing and new product offerings.

Vector Value Add

Vector provided capital and operating expertise to help Mood navigate the COVID-19 period of economic uncertainty. Vector will also drive significant operational improvements across the business and accelerate investments into new products and solutions. Vector Operating Executive, Malcolm McRoberts, has joined the business as CEO.
