Commit Acquires SavannahTech, Surpasses 1,000 Engineers Globally

Acquisition strengthens Commit’s ability to deliver high-quality engineering talent at competitive rates for global customers

New York, New York, United States, 26th Jan 2026 Commit, a global technology services company, today announced the acquisition of SavannahTech, a fast-growing, bootstrapped firm specializing in recruiting and employing experienced software engineers across Africa. With this acquisition, Commit surpasses 1,000 engineers worldwide, reinforcing its position as a leading global delivery partner for startups and private-equity-backed companies.

The transaction, estimated at several million dollars according to people familiar with the deal, reflects Commit’s continued investment in high-quality technical talent to meet growing customer demand while maintaining competitive pricing.

This marks Commit’s eighth acquisition in its 20-year history and addresses a critical market need, as competition for experienced developers intensifies and traditional outsourcing hubs become increasingly expensive and saturated. With operations across the United States, Canada, the UK, Israel, Europe, and now Africa, Commit continues to expand its global footprint while preserving engineering excellence and lowering blended delivery rates.

“Adding teams of highly skilled, English-speaking engineers with strong time-zone alignment to our international customers was a key factor in evaluating this acquisition,” said Max Nirenberg, Global CRO and Managing Director for NAMER and the UK. “This significantly enhances our ability to serve customers in North America and the UK with speed, quality, and cost efficiency.”

Commit views Africa as a powerful and underutilized alternative to traditional outsourcing markets such as India and Eastern Europe—offering cost advantages without compromising quality. Savannah’s operations span well-developed countries including Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, which together represent a large English-speaking population and a rapidly growing community of engineers with strong academic foundations and experience in modern, AI-driven development environments.

Founded in late 2022 and grown without external funding, SavannahTech has recruited more than 100 engineers in under three years, placing them with dozens of companies including Firefly, Aqua Security, Port, and Bright Data. The company focuses on building dedicated development teams through a model tailored to Africa’s expanding pool of experienced software talent.

SavannahTech Founder and CEO Itai Azogui first encountered Africa’s technology ecosystem while working as a senior product manager in Accra, Ghana. There, he saw firsthand the disconnect between the quality of local engineering talent and its limited access to well-funded global technology companies. Azogui later connected with Commit President and Chairman Arik Faingold, as well as Evgeny Golubov, General Manager of Commit’s Offshore division, through his Israel roots. 

“This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Commit,” said Faingold. “One of our core values is being the most valuable partner to our clients. Surpassing 1,000 engineers globally allows us to help our customers scale with speed, efficiency, and confidence.”

Combined with Commit’s Cloud of People offering and its AWS Premier Tier Partner status, the expanded organization enables customers to access highly competitive pricing at scale—while benefiting from Commit’s advanced capabilities across AI, software development, cloud, security and compliance, and data engineering.
