“The KippsDeSanto team did an excellent job of navigating us through the deal process and managing all the moving pieces from start to finish. I always knew I was receiving sound feedback critical to working through the deal challenges. They took a deeply analytical approach, creating customized analyses and presentations to help the buyers learn about and assess the business, while always putting the Company’s best foot forward. They were tough, but fair negotiators, and genuinely felt as though they always had our interests first. Their industry expertise in federal health, agile development, and digital; deal execution discipline, and; thoughtful approach were an invaluable in helping us to achieve our objectives.”

Ori Reiss, President & CEO, GlobalNet Services, Inc.

“I can say without hyperbole that having KippsDeSanto on our team was the difference between success and failure. KippsDeSanto played a critical role educating us on the M&A process, representing OnPoint to the buyer, and negotiating the most favorable terms for our transaction. Kevin DeSanto provided expert advice and guidance throughout the process, while Jon Yim led our engagement on a daily (and hourly) basis with his responsiveness at all hours of the day and night, professionalism, and innovative thinking. Recognizing that we still had our day jobs running OnPoint, KippsDeSanto analysts Penn Daniel and Matt Brown kept us on task and moving forward throughout the due diligence phase. It was clear from Day 1 that the KippsDeSanto team was committed to our successful exit. My only regret was not engaging KippsDeSanto earlier in the process!”

Shankar Pillai, President, OnPoint Consulting, Inc.

“KippsDeSanto’s deep experience and knowledge of the Federal IT and Health services markets, as well as ESOPs, were evident in every step of the process. The KippsDeSanto team consistently demonstrated a clear understanding of ASM’s unique positioning within the market and leveraged our key competitive differentiators to our advantage. As an employee-owned company, it was critical that we not only maximize shareholder value, but also choose an investment banking partner that could orchestrate a flawless and confidential transaction process. Whether it was dealing with pre-emptive interest we received, creating marketing materials, or reviewing prospective bids, KippsDeSanto ensured that we were prepared at each critical decision point we faced. We are extremely proud of the company and culture our employees have built over the years and we are extremely grateful to have had KippsDeSanto by our side throughout the sale process, as they fully appreciated our uniqueness and became an extension of our team.”

Jeri Lassiter, CEO, ASM Research, Inc.

“Having gone through the sale of our company, we have no idea how anyone would undertake such an effort without hiring an investment bank of KippsDeSanto’s caliber. From day one, KippsDeSanto served as an extension of our team, understanding the intricacies of our business and developing strong relationships with our entire leadership team. This knowledge and hands on approach, combined with their expertise in managing a demanding sales process, took a huge burden off of our team and allowed us to continue to focus on the day-to-day operations. Without the KippsDeSanto team, the sale of our company would not have gone as smoothly or as well as it did.”

Baly Ambegaoker, President and CEO, IDL Solutions, Inc.

“I couldn’t make a stronger recommendation. The KippsDeSanto team was impressive throughout the entire sale process. They managed us through the strategies, processes, challenges, and negotiations with style and substance. Their commitment to success was reflected in their willingness to work all day, every day, and with the same passion we drive ourselves. Through it all, we’ve built mutual respect, a sound business relationship, and personal friendship. Our decision to engage them has contributed significant value to our lives.”

Gil Delgado, President & CEO, Emergint Technologies, Inc.
