The Capstone deal team, led by Tess Oxenstierna, drove the M&A process with finessed negotiation skill and a determined focus to find the right strategic partner. Capstone’s knowledge of the Military Space sector coupled with government contracting expertise delivered an outstanding result.
“Bowhead is an ideal partner for Delta Solutions & Strategies,” said Delta Solutions & Strategies President and CEO Mark Stafford. “Delta’s expertise and reputation in the space community, matched with Bowhead’s extensive service offerings and well-defined federal contracting practices, will allow us to unlock a new level of value for our organizations and customers.”
“Delta Solutions & Strategies has built a reputation for exceptional service delivery and expertise in the defense and space arena,” said UIC Government Services and Bowhead President Mike Hundley. “Additionally, Delta’s ethical business practices align closely with the Iñupiat values that guide Bowhead’s business efforts, making our companies a great fit for this integration in terms of organizational culture and the pursuit of excellence. We are confident that this acquisition will significantly benefit Delta’s employees and customers and are excited about the opportunities ahead.”
“As another high-profile transaction closed in the military Air, Land, Sea, and Space domains, our team was delighted to represent Delta in this important milestone,” noted Tess Oxenstierna, Managing Director and Group Head of Capstone’s Aerospace, Defense, Government, and Security.
UIC Chief Operating Officer, Jeevan Pokharel, who spearheaded the acquisition and worked directly with Tess Oxenstierna from the start to completion noted, “Throughout the process, Tess was extremely knowledgeable and instrumental with the negotiations, shaping the structure of the acquisition, and helping execute the transaction. This strategic acquisition is the largest to date for UIC, will help us with our ambitious goals for growth, and greatly enhances and expands our service offerings for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force and U.S. Space Command. I would like to thank Capstone, especially Tess Oxenstierna, for her support during the whole process. I look forward to working with her on another acquisition.”
