Chesapeake Corporate Advisors Serves as Exclusive Financial Advisor
Baltimore, MD – October 24, 2024 – Chesapeake Corporate Advisors (“CCA”) is pleased to announce it has served as the exclusive financial advisor to Vetegrity, LLC (“Vetegrity”), a provider of professional services to the Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence community, in its recapitalization, which was conducted concurrent with a management restructuring. These moves will enable Vetegrity to continue its long-standing tradition of innovation and provide high-value services to government clients.
The successful recapitalization of Vetegrity positions the company for long-term growth and enhanced financial flexibility. This transaction enables Vetegrity to pursue new opportunities, strengthen its market presence, and sustain its growth trajectory. CCA played a key role in this outcome by providing tailored guidance and structuring the recapitalization to support Vetegrity’s objectives and future success.
As part of the management restructuring, Sean Keller, a veteran executive of the intelligence community, joins Vetegrity as Chief Strategy Officer. In this new role, Keller will leverage his deep experience driving growth for government services at leading organizations in the government contracting space. A retired USAF Reserve Intelligence Officer, he was previously co-founder and CEO of Sage Management, CSO at Freedom Consulting, and an independent consultant to leading providers serving intelligence agencies.
After leading Vetegrity’s impressive growth over the last 11 years, current CEO Ken Foxton is transitioning to an executive consulting role as current president and founder Mark Feffer takes on the CEO position. Feffer’s three decades of experience in federal contracting and business development, specifically with the DoD and the broader intelligence community, will prove instrumental in leading Vetegrity going forward.
“I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the CCA GovCon team. Over the course of our work together, the Vetegrity team and I collaborated closely with Marty O’Neill, Andy Spears, and Miles Galley to guide Vetegrity into this next chapter,” said Mark Feffer, founder and CEO of Vetegrity. “Their expertise in M&A, understanding of market dynamics, and extensive knowledge of government contracting were invaluable in ensuring the success of this process.”
The CCA investment banking team on this transaction included Managing Director Marty O’Neill, Vice President Andy Spears, and Analyst Miles Galley. Together, the CCA team advised on transaction strategy and provided support throughout the engagement. RKW Law Group served as legal counsel to Vetegrity.
“The CCA team is grateful for the opportunity to work with Mark Feffer, Ken Foxton, and Sean Keller as they continue to build a powerful middle market company serving the Defense Information Systems Agency and the intelligence community overall,” O’Neill said. “CCA’s deep expertise in the government contracting sector proved invaluable as we guided Vetegrity though this important milestone in the company’s growth journey.”
