High Side Technology (HST) recently announced the appointment of Andrew Pidduck as chief growth officer (CGO) and chief operating officer (COO). With over 25 years of Department of Defense experience, including nearly 20 years in acquisition and contract delivery, Pidduck brings proven leadership and expertise to his new role.
Pidduck joins HST after a successful career at Forward Slope, Inc., where he most recently served as president. Under his leadership, Forward Slope achieved remarkable growth, including a 290% revenue increase during his tenure as vice president. He also managed some of FSI’s largest software development and professional services prime contracts, demonstrating his ability to scale businesses and deliver exceptional outcomes.
“Andrew brings valuable insights, experience, and drive that aligns with and enhances our leadership portfolio,” said J. Terry Simpson, HST’s chief executive officer. “I’m excited to have him as a partner in leading HST’s growth and making a difference to our clients’ mission success.”
A Certified Six Sigma Black Belt from the American Society for Quality and ITIL V3-certified professional, Andrew is an expert in process optimization and IT best practices. At HST, he will focus on scaling the company’s operations, building strategic partnerships, expanding market presence, and advancing HST’s innovative offerings for the DoD and Intelligence Community, said Simpson.
“I have been fortunate to have known Terry for around 15 years, so starting the discussion with someone I trust and like was a huge factor,” said Pidduck. “I joined my previous company when it was only about 15 employees and left as employee number 2 when we were around 170 employees. I just love being able to do a bunch of different things, which is more typical in the small business environment.”
Pidduck’s appointment follows HST’s recent success in securing a position on the GSA OASIS+ small business multiple award contract.
