Sunny Singh, president and CEO of Aeyon, said the company sees complementary cultures and capabilities as key factors when considering potential targets for a merger or an acquisition.
“Mergers and acquisitions don’t fail because of contracts, they don’t fail because of revenue or money or anything else. They generally fail because of personalities and cultures,” Singh said in an interview posted Wednesday on Federal News Network.
He describes Aeyon, which launched in September 2021 as a result of the Sehlke-Artlin merger, as a midtier contractor in the government space with a focus on service areas such as data management, governance and analytics.
The company added engineering services and learning management systems to its portfolio through the purchase of MTS and Marick Group earlier this year.
Singh noted that Aeyon aims to compete with larger contractors and pursue acquisitions to have additional organic growth.
“We’ve won 36 opportunities organically that didn’t come from the merger.”
