Regional understanding. Permanent ownership. Global software experience.

Our role

Boson identifies and supports software businesses with durable customer relationships, strong market knowledge and the potential to continue growing independently. We bring a focused regional perspective to the wider permanent-ownership ecosystem of Andromeda and Constellation Software Inc.

What stands behind us

Why regional understanding matters

Transactions are not completed by financial models alone. Ownership history, family interests, customer relationships, local regulation, talent markets and business culture can all shape both the process and what responsible ownership looks like afterward.

Boson’s roots in Pakistan, and its connection to substantial software operating capability in the region, allow it to approach these realities with familiarity rather than from a distance.

Our team

Initial enquiries are handled directly by the two people who lead the acquisition conversation.

Bilal Mahmood

Managing Director, Boson

Markham, Canada

Hira Zainab

VP Strategic Affairs, Boson

Islamabad, Pakistan

Bilal Mahmood leads Boson Group and is the senior point of contact for owners considering a transaction. Hira Zainab leads strategic affairs and works with owners and advisers from the first conversation through to completion.

Between them they hold the acquisition conversation from start to finish. An owner writing to Boson is writing to the people who make the decision, not to an intermediary.

Thinking about succession?

The beginning does not need to feel like a process.

You do not need to have decided to sell. You do not need a data room. You do not need to present the business to us. An initial conversation is simply a way to understand whether our long-term approach matches what you want for the company.
