DT Global Announces Spin-Off of Digital Communications Business Unit

Malaga, Spain (14 March, 2023): As part of its regular strategic planning process, DT Global conducted a review to ensure an uncompromising focus on its vision to positively impact 500 million lives by 2045. This led to the decision to divest its digital communications business, providing an opportunity for the de la Maza family and the Aniver team to build on their strong foundation in a focused manner.

Launched in 2015 as an independent company, Aninver focused on consulting assignments with private companies, governments, and multilateral institutions in tourism, public-private partnerships, and digital platforms, including its proprietary market intelligence platforms. Following its early success, Aninver was acquired by IMC Worldwide (now a wholly owned subsidiary of DT Global UK) in 2019 and has been operating under its brand since that timeFollowing its early success, Aninver was acquired by IMC Worldwide (now a wholly owned subsidiary of DT Global UK) in 2019 and has been operating under its brand since that time.

Effective immediately, Aninver will be again owned by the de la Maza family, with Jose de la Maza assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer—bringing with him learnings and best practices from his time at DT Global. Aninver Development Partners has carried out 100+ assignments in 40+ countries and is the first-ranked international development consultancy in Andalusia by number of contracts delivered for multilateral institutions. Under de la Maza’s leadership, Aninver will continue to implement work for a wide variety of clients, including the African Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank.

“We are really thankful to Maria, Torge [Gerlach, CEO of DT Global], and the entire DT Global family for making this step possible and supporting the Malaga business unit in this new stage of development as an independent business,” says Jose de la Maza. He continued, “Our team has learned a lot working with amazing colleagues from across the DT Global family of companies, and Aninver today is a much more experienced, dynamic, and flexible company, ready to address the needs of both its current and future clients.”

“It has been a pleasure to collaborate with the Malaga team over the past year,” echoed Maria Garron. She went on to say of Aninver, “Their technical knowledge of the digital market and the expertise of their team will ensure that Aninver will continue to succeed and pave the way for the digital communications market in Andalusia while their clients profit from working with this first-class company.”
