Why is it taking Nuance\u2019s (https://www.nuance.com/index.html) Board so long to name the next CEO? \n\u2022\tDisagreement at the Board Level? \n\u2022\tNo qualified candidates? \n\u2022\tNuance in-process selling itself? \n\nSpeaking from experience we believe that Satish Maripuri would be a fine CEO: https://www.linkedin.com/in/satishmaripuri\n\nIf Nuance is indeed working to sell itself we believe private equity is the logical buyer and that one of the three following PE firms would win the day:\no\tVista Equity Partners: https://www.vistaequitypartners.com/ (active in software M&A)\no\tThoma Bravo: https://thomabravo.com/ (active in software M&A)\no\tWarburg Pincus : http://www.warburgpincus.com/ (prior relationship with Nuance)
