Robert Coleman, chief executive officer of Six3 Systems, and private equity firm GTCR have acquired BIT Systems.
In April 2009, through the CEOVisions Acquisition Services programme, Cook M&A Advisory Services partnered Coleman (pictured) with GTCR to form Six3 Systems, a company focused on building a government services platform specialising in national security and defense intelligence.
CEOVisions is a service designed to partner executives who have an investment thesis with PEGs to build industry-leading companies.
The acquisition of BIT Systems is Six3’s second acquirement since its inception in April 2009.
BIT Systems is an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance company that specialises in the design, development, integration and maintenance of signal processing systems, data analysis, software development, and other mission operations.
Six3 Systems completed its first transaction in July, 2009 when it acquired Harding Security Associates, a provider of identity intelligence, forensics analysis and security services.
“Mr. Coleman’s recent successful completion of the BIT Systems acquisition is yet another testament to the effectiveness of the CEOVisions programme,” says Arnis Kins, president of Cook Associates.
