ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Saatchi steps aside

In 1979, Gideon Gartner, an Oppenheimer technology securities analyst and former IBM staffer, launched GartnerGroup to provide IT consulting services. In the beginning, the firm had just four employees, and Gartner soon led it off Wall Street, establishing headquarters in Greenwich, Conn. Two years later, the headquarters was relocated again, to its current home in Stamford, Conn. The firm went public with an $11.6 million IPO in 1986, and two years later it was acquired—to the tune of $90 million—by British ad company Saatchi & Saatchi. The tie-up proved short-lived, however, as Gideon Gartner led a $63.5 million leveraged buyout and reclaimed his eponymous firm.
