New mother wins 100-kilometre ultra marathon despite breast feeding her six-month-old daughter three times on the way
A new mother won an 100km ultra marathon despite breast feeding her six-month-old daughter along the way. Stephanie Case, 42, is no stranger to long-distance running but this mammoth undertaking along the 62-mile Ultra-Trail in Snowdonia was a little different to her usual challenges. The human rights lawyer had her new baby Pepper with her and rather than gobbling down some pizza and gulping a Coca-Cola in one of the pit stop stations, Ms Case instead focused her attention and energy on feeding her newborn. And the breaks to breast-feed didn't stop Ms Case from achieving victory and indeed Pepper proved to be her lucky charm. Not only did the new mother cross the finish line, but she did so in her fastest time yet - despite starting 30 minutes behind her competitors. After factoring in her longer breaks, the lawyer crossed the line in a final time of 16 hours, 53 minutes and 22 seconds. After crossing the line, her husband John and Pepper were shocked to find out that she had won a few minutes ahead of the runner-up and Ms Case described the race as 'the best time'. She told The Times: 'I was just so relieved that I didn't know that because it would have put a lot of pressure and stress on my race. And I just had the best time. I had the best time out there, just running completely ignorant of where I was and just going by how my body felt.' She added that she hopes one day she can show Pepper what she was part of and take her through the photos from the monumental day. 'I knew it was past Pepper's bedtime, but it was great. I can't wait until she grows up and I can show her the photos of what we did together'.,' she added. Ms Case's run was a cause for celebration not only for her impressive time but also because it was her first run after struggling with multiple miscarriages and three rounds of IVF before the joyful birth of her daughter. The chief of protection for UNRWA in Jerusalem was forced to scale back her running after a miscarriage three years ago. The Canadian lawyer, who now lives in Chamonix, France, revealed that she discovered she was pregnant after coming second in the over southern Colorado's San Juan Range. Despite her joy, the pregnancy sadly resulted in a miscarriage and Ms Case said that while there was no medical evidence to suggest that running had contributed to it, she decided to stop for a short while. After a second miscarriage Ms Chase discovered she was pregnant for a third time with her daughter Pepper who she welcomed in November. Six weeks after welcoming Pepper, the Canadian re-connected with running and started up again with the help of her midwife and her running coach Megan Roche. Ms Case said: 'Being able to just get back outside and reconnect with that running identity part of me was so important for my physical and mental health in this very vulnerable postpartum period.'

Acumatica CEO on the secret sauce behind company's growth — and its next chapter with Vista
Acumatica CEO John Case. (Acumatica Photo) Make the software easy to use. Find key partners to drive sales. Lean on a community of users to help improve your product. Those are some of the ingredients fueling growth at Acumatica, the Bellevue, Wash.-based enterprise software giant that will be acquired by Vista Equity Partners in a deal announced Thursday. Founded in 2008, the company has grown steadily since it was acquired by EQT Partners in 2019. EQT generated a 5X multiple on its invested capital, according to Bloomberg, which reported that the new deal with Vista values Acumatica at about $2 billion. Acumatica specializes in enterprise resource planning, or ERP. Its software is used for accounting, inventory tracking, supply chain operations, and more. The company targets mid-market customers — businesses with 25-to-1,000 employees — across an array of industries. 'Tens of thousands of companies fit that description and they're hunting for new digital technology to run their business,' said Acumatica CEO John Case. The ongoing AI boom is a tailwind for Acumatica, which has introduced a range of automation capabilities to help speed up data extraction, demand forecasting, business workflows, and more. 'The mid-market customer, they don't have big AI teams,' Case said. 'They're looking to buy systems and run on systems that are going to benefit from that technology in a very pragmatic way.' Acumatica has carved market share in a competitive sector that includes Microsoft, Oracle, and other ERP vendors — but it differentiates by focusing specifically on mid-market. Case, who joined as CEO in 2022, pointed to three aspects of the company's business that has helped drive growth. Platform architecture: Since its inception, the company built software with easy integration capabilities and configuration, Case said. 'We do all this extra work to make the platform incredibly functional for the average customer,' he said.

'We do all this extra work to make the platform incredibly functional for the average customer,' he said. Go-to-market model: Acumatica works with hundreds of partners in a reseller network that help with implementation and in-person service. 'That channel is incredibly hard to build and replicate,' Case said. Acumatica works with hundreds of partners in a reseller network that help with implementation and in-person service. 'That channel is incredibly hard to build and replicate,' Case said. Community engagement: The company has more than 30,000 active members in its community that vote on potential new features. 'They want us to build the product that they want to use,' Case said. 'That is a really helpful virtuous cycle that helps shape our future — and insulate us from some of the challenges other businesses might have.' Case said Acumatica talked to a number of private equity firms over the past several months. 'Vista was most convicted about our business model and how we go to market,' he said, adding: 'This is a growth story. They're wanting to fuel and accelerate that growth.' The company plans to boost headcount and reach about 750 employees globally this quarter. About 10% of its workforce is based in the Pacific Northwest. Acumatica moved its headquarters to the Seattle region from the Washington, D.C., area in 2012. It opened a new HQ in Bellevue last year. Vista, an Austin, Texas-based firm with more than $100 billion in assets, recently acquired Bellevue-based enterprise software company Smartsheet in an $8.4 billion deal with Blackstone. Vista also acquired other Seattle-area tech companies including IT cost analysis software firm Apptio in 2019 (Apptio sold to IBM in 2023) and tax software giant Avalara in 2022.

Vista Equity Partners to acquire Acumatica in latest Seattle-area enterprise software deal
Acumatica's lobby at its Bellevue-area headquarters. (Acumatica Photo) Vista Equity Partners is swooping up another Seattle-area enterprise software player. The private equity firm announced Thursday that it will acquire Acumatica, which specializes in cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Founded in 2008, Acumatica helps companies automate processes including financial management, payroll, CRM, and more. It sells to various industries and sectors, and competes against tech giants including Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, among others. Private equity firm EQT Partners acquired Acumatica in 2019. Vista said EQT will no longer be an investor in the company. Bloomberg, which reported on the deal Wednesday, said that acquisition could value Acumatica at $2 billion. Acumatica is led by John Case, the former CEO of Unify Square. Case took over in 2022, replacing Jon Roskill, who moved into an advisory role with EQT. 'With Vista's support and track record of growing software companies, we believe we're positioned to accelerate product development, deepen partner engagement and extend our impact,' Case said in a statement. Acumatica moved its headquarters to the Seattle region from the Washington, D.C., area in 2012. It opened a new HQ in Bellevue, Wash., last year. It employs almost 700 people worldwide, according to LinkedIn, which is up from 265 employees in 2019. Vista, an Austin, Texas-based firm with more than $100 billion in assets, recently acquired Bellevue, Wash.-based enterprise software giant Smartsheet in an $8.4 billion deal with Blackstone. Vista also acquired other publicly traded Seattle-area tech companies including IT cost analysis software firm Apptio in 2019 (Apptio sold to IBM in 2023) and tax software giant Avalara in 2022.
