“When POC’s explosive growth and a particularly aggressive market coalesced in late 2019, KippsDeSanto ensured that we were prepared for a comprehensive and compressed sale process. Skillfully shepherding us through all phases of the transaction, and doing so almost entirely from a virtual perspective in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, their team provided around-the-clock support and priority-treatment throughout the process. Leveraging a deep well of industry experience and buyer relationships, the KippsDeSanto team reached out to the appropriate suitors and effectively highlighted our most attractive characteristics. This expert approach ensured the best possible outcome for all involved and an excellent fit with Mercury Systems. The entire experience certified our initial impression that KippsDeSanto was the right choice.”
Kevin Walter, President, Physical Optics Corporation

/in Testimonial/by Andrell BarnesThe KippsDeSanto team has been a true value-added partner throughout our ownership of Whitney, Bradley, and Brown (WBB). Kipps DeSanto has known the business and Robert Olsen, WBB’s CEO, for over a decade and was uniquely positioned to advise us and the company on our sale process. We appreciate all of the KippsDeSanto team’s hard work and guidance to achieve a successful outcome for all stakeholders and find a great next partner for the business in Serco.
– Jeff Zanarini, Managing Director, H.I.G. Capital
“After significant HHB Systems contract wins, and a “do-it-yourself” sell miscue in 2019, external transaction interest in our firm became apparent, and we strategized with the KippsDeSanto team, and I am grateful we did. The market timing was right and the KippsDeSanto team went to work. In the middle of the COVID pandemic, they seemingly worked 24/7 guiding us through the transaction preparation, the offering, the management presentations (all online via Zoom), and the “win-win” close of the final transaction. The transaction was completed in record time and the KippsDeSanto team exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t be happier, and I could not have done it without them.”
“As a business owner, the team at KippsDesanto has been invaluable to me personally, to confide in and lean on as we built the business from a start-up company to a multi-million dollar business and award-winning industry leader. I’ve worked in the GovCon industry in the Washington DC area for more than 25 years, participating intimately in 6 M&A transactions along the way and can say without hesitation that the team at KippsDesanto is the very best in the business!”
Sandy Corbett, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
“TeraThink needed to do something dramatic to provide growth and opportunities for our employees, broaden our market presence, and enhance our services to transform the missions of our customers. In 2017 KippsDeSanto provided strategic advice, guidance, and validation on our merger thesis and invaluable input as our merger partner. Following successful integration of the two companies, KippsDeSanto again partnered with us to maximize shareholder value through diligent preparation, M&A expertise, and a ‘TeraThink-tailored’ approach that proved successful in facilitating our sale to CGI. I am beyond grateful for the partnership we developed and the guidance, competence, and dedication offered. It made two complex processes successful for our employees, management, and shareholders.”
