Integration adds suite of solutions to support the customers' global expansion journey and brings on ConnectaVerse Founder Isidro Helder as Chief Revenue Officer

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Helios Global Payments Solutions Inc, the AI-powered global human capital management (HCM) and payments platform, has acquired ConnectaVerse, a marketplace technology company specializing in international expansion services and local compliance solutions across 60 countries.

The acquisition, finalized on August 15, strengthens Helios' position as a leader in global expansion and it enhances Helios' core platform with end-to-end capabilities for legal entity setup, corporate governance, international hiring and operational compliance. By embedding ConnectaVerse's technology and partner network into the Helios ecosystem, companies can launch, manage and scale global teams seamlessly from a single unified platform, no matter where they are in their global journey.

As part of the acquisition, ConnectaVerse Founder and CEO Isidro Helder has joined Helios as Chief Revenue Officer, bringing more than 20 years of experience in global expansion, payroll and entity management. Known for his legal expertise, operational depth and people-first leadership, Isidro will lead the commercial growth of the Helios platform as it scales to serve businesses entering new markets worldwide.

ConnectaVerse's integrated network of more than 20,000 vetted local experts, spanning legal, HR, payroll, accounting and tax, will power new features within Helios. These include jurisdiction-specific company formation tools, global payroll automation, document-driven compliance workflows and access to corporate secretarial and governance support.

Businesses will be able to incorporate new entities in just a few weeks and activate localized infrastructure in the markets where they operate. With these enhancements, Helios is further simplifying how companies enter new markets, stay compliant with evolving local regulations and build distributed teams with ease and confidence.

"Adding ConnectaVerse to the Helios platform aligns with our vision to make global expansion seamless and scalable," said Rick Hammell, Founder and CEO of Helios. "This acquisition accelerates our ability to help companies operate across borders without complexity. Customers will have everything they need to launch, manage and grow their global operations in one centralized platform. We're also thrilled to welcome Isidro Helder as our new Chief Revenue Officer. His deep expertise in global expansion and proven leadership will play a key role in driving the next phase of Helios' growth."

The acquisition also strengthens Helios' position as a single-source provider for global workforce management, offering operational transparency, lower expansion costs and faster market speed. Companies can expand globally without relying on fragmented vendors, legal intermediaries or costly consulting arrangements.

"We built ConnectaVerse to remove the barriers companies face when going global," said Isidro Helder, Chief Revenue Officer of Helios and Former CEO of ConnectaVerse. "Joining Helios is a significant step toward our mission of making global expansion accessible, simple, and cost-effective. It allows us to scale our vision on a global level, combining our international partner network and deep local expertise with Helios' cutting-edge technology. Together we are building the infrastructure companies need to expand faster, hire smarter and remain compliant in every market they enter."
