On February 2, the board of directors of Valkyrie Enterprises, LLC announced that Josh Jackson has been named as the company’s chief executive officer. Jackson brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in defense technology and federal contracting and has the attributes to successfully lead and continue Valkyrie’s evolution. Jackson has a long history of successfully satisfying the missions of Valkyrie’s key customers on highly technical programs across the defense industry and was most recently the head of SAIC’s Army Business Group.
Jackson has an engineering foundation and has built high-performing, mission-driven businesses that have supported the U.S. Navy, Army, and multi-domain warfighting missions. Jackson’s main objective will be enhancing the company’s ability to assist its customers in successfully executing their missions by assisting them in their product evolution and prototyping, while creating additional opportunities for Valkyrie’s employees.
“We are at a juncture in the evolution of Valkyrie Enterprises, where the company is poised to grow dramatically, and we believe Josh is the right person to lead the Valkyrie Team. At Valkyrie and all of our companies, we strive to have our business: Evolve, Grow, and Improve,” said Tom Campbell, Chairman of Valkyrie and founder and Managing Partner of DC Capital Partners. “I could not be more optimistic for what the future holds for Valkyrie. We have invested a significant amount of resources to accumulate the raw material to build a highly differentiated business focused on: Test, Simulation, Evaluation and Prototyping, and Lifecycle Solutions, and we are fortunate to work with Josh to execute on the strategic plan we have developed.”
Over the last several years, Valkyrie has invested heavily in its core Navy business to more effectively support those customers.
“This expansion of our capabilities and an enhanced organization structure allow the company to grow its geographies, markets, and capabilities (what DC Capital refers to as the ‘X, Y, and Z’ axes) to meet our customers’ changing requirements,” said Jeff Weber, partner at DC Capital Partners. “The solutions that Valkyrie provides to its customers enhance our ability to take on more complex defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure challenges.”
“I’m honored to lead Valkyrie Enterprises and to work alongside a team that delivers real, mission-critical impact for our national security customers,” said Jackson. “Valkyrie has a strong combination of domain expertise, trusted customer relationships, and differentiated technologies. The opportunity ahead is to scale those strengths and accelerate innovation, and executing with the rigor required in today’s dynamic threat environment. We will continue to deliver with precision and passion while focusing on solutions for an increasingly complex future.”
“While we welcome Mr. Jackson as the new CEO of Valkyrie, we would also like to thank Dave Streett for his dedication to Valkyrie over the last 10 years and for his leadership as CEO. We wish Dave well in his future roles,” added Weber.
