Beeline to acquire MBO Partners, expanding its workforce platform to include independent talent
Beeline, a leading technology solution provider for managing the global extended workforce, is acquiring MBO Partners, a premier solution for engaging and managing high-value independent workers, a portfolio company of Emerald Lake Capital Management.
According to the companies, this strategic move cements Beeline’s unique position as the only platform purpose-built to manage and optimize every type of external talent—including contingent workers, independent contractors (ICs), consultants, gig workers, and payrolled professionals—within a single, compliant, and insight-rich ecosystem.
Contingent labor continues to offer agility and cost efficiency in an evolving labor landscape, and independent talent is among the fastest growing segments.
Companies that lack a comprehensive Vendor Management System (VMS) risk losing access to critical skills and competitive advantages that come from top external talent.
“Managing independent contractors outside the VMS has historically led to fragmentation, inefficiency, and unnecessary risk,” said Doug Leeby, CEO of Beeline. “With this acquisition, we’re excited to offer a cohesive, global solution that brings structure, compliance, and a seamless experience for the entire extended workforce.”
MBO Partners delivers solutions that make it easier for leading enterprises and high-impact independent contractors to compliantly work together.
Through its proprietary platform, MBO Partners has built a comprehensive workforce ecosystem that fuels both sides of the independent economy.
“Joining forces with Beeline marks an exciting new chapter for MBO Partners and the independent workforce we serve,” said Miles Everson, CEO of MBO Partners. “This combination accelerates our shared mission to simplify and elevate how companies engage independent talent—providing a seamless, compliant, and scalable path to access the skills they need to succeed.”
