“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.”

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.

“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!”

“When market timing aligned with our readiness for a transaction, the KippsDeSanto team ensured that we were thoroughly prepared  and that our process was professionally managed.  The deal team provided round-the-clock, outstanding advisory and investment banking services that ensured a maximum return for our owners.  They were always available; we always felt like we were their only customer.  Their ability to draw from a deep well of transaction experience provided significant value. They gently educated us throughout the entire process and treated our team with incredible respect.  We thoroughly enjoyed working with them.  They are true professionals and even though I spent years preparing and we were ready, I’m glad I didn’t attempt to navigate the process without them.  Because of their expertise, I felt covered every step of the way, confident that we weren’t missing anything.  With their guidance, we were able to achieve the right outcome for all stakeholders.”
