For Noblis, its acquisition of McKean Defense represents the nonprofit science and technology organization’s third in seven years and latest move to further grow in the government market’s defense segment.
Amr ElSawy, who became Noblis’ CEO that same year, said Friday that adding McKean Defense is the latest move to further balance the portfolio beyond the historical core of civilian and health care-focused work.
Prior to McKean Defense, the two most recent acquisitions for Noblis have been primarily focused on the national security space including the 2014 addition of National Security Partners and last year’s purchase of Inductive Minds.
