History[edit]
Originally founded in 1968 in Saint Paul, Minnesota by Kenneth F. Merrill[1], K.F. Merrill Company, as it was originally known, was a typesetting business. In 1984, under new CEO John Castro, the company was given its current name, Merrill Corporation.
Prior to entering the virtual data room (VDR) industry, Merrill operated in the financial printing industry, as well as e-production, electronic filing, custom communications design, and publishing.[2] In 2002, it developed its Datasite platform, a VDR-enabling business to share information during the due diligence process in a secure space.
In 2014, Merrill named Rusty Wiley as its CEO.[3] Under his leadership, the company simplified its business as well as amplified investments in its core Datasite product.[4] In 2018, Merrill completed several divestitures to become a SaaS-based technology company.[5]
