GTCR, a US-based private equity firm, has entered into a partnership with Robert Coleman to form Six3 Systems, based in Fairfax, Virginia, to focus on building a government services platform specialising in national security and defence intelligence.
Coleman will become chief executive of Six3 Systems. He is the former president and chief operating officer of ManTech International, a federal contractor focused on national security programmes.
‘I look forward to building a business strategically focused on solving some of our nation’s toughest national security challenges,’ says Coleman. ‘The current political and technological environment offers a unique set of challenges and opportunities. GTCR has a history of building successful companies in the government services space through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We believe this is an attractive time to build a presence in our targeted markets.’
‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Bob,’ says GTCR Principal Craig Bondy. ‘We view Bob as the leading executive in the national security space given his extensive experience and industry relationships. His track record coupled with attractive dynamics in the intelligence and cybersecurity sectors make this an exciting investment opportunity. This is another great example of GTCR’s strategy of partnering with proven management teams to build companies in attractive industries.’
