The JIAN Group is pleased to announce that Melchior Baltazar will be leading the firm’s expansion in the Government Contracting sector. His extensive business expertise, combined with a prestigious military career and legal background, will enable Mr. Baltazar to successfully work with clients in the complex mergers and acquisitions environment of the Government Contracting sector. In keeping with our firm’s core belief, we have added a specialist from the industry that “speaks” Government Contracting and for companies and investors in the National Security market, Mr. Baltazar provides access and knowledge to make entries into an otherwise closed and misunderstood market.
Most recently Mr. Baltazar was the Vice-President of the Critical Infrastructure Protection practice at ObjectVideo, a security technology company. With his deep domain knowledge of the DOD, DHS and National Security markets, the government contracting process and his extensive relationships with key industry decision makers, Mr. Baltazar led his practice group to a market leadership position in these sectors. Working with small and large government contractors, he successfully developed winning strategies in capturing local, state and federal government contracts. For companies and investors in the National Security market, Mr. Baltazar provides access and knowledge to make entries into an otherwise closed and misunderstood market. Prior to joining ObjectVideo, Mr. Baltazar was co-founder of Critical Infrastructure Protection Security (CIPSEC), Inc. CIPSEC provided vulnerability assessments, remediation solutions and Red Cell validation exercises for federal, state and local government critical infrastructure facilities. He is also a former U.S. Navy SEAL, Staff Judge Advocate General (JAG), corporate attorney, entrepreneur, and senior executive of a publicly held company. These diverse business, military, and professional experiences have given him a strategic, analytical and management skill set that is uniquely relevant in this field. He is also a frequent speaker at industry conferences and is the author of several articles on these topics. He received his B.A., M.A. and J.D. from the University of Virginia. Mr. Baltazar expertise will be an integral piece of The JIAN Group’s continued focus on the Government Contracting industry. The JIAN Group has been successful in representing a number of middle market companies in this arena including the recent transactions of A-T Solutions (government contractor providing services to DoD, DHS, and DoS for analytical and training solutions in the detection, identification, and defeat of IEDs and WMDs) and Precision Door (federal contractor of protective doors for government buildings.) The JIAN Group is one of the largest and most active intermediaries in arranging Mergers and Acquisitions for middle-market companies. Founded in 1992, the JIAN Group principals have successfully completed well over 100 transactions in their focused business practices. These specializations include Government Contracting, Infrastructure, Building Products, and Specialty Distribution. The JIAN Group has established a national footprint with offices in Northern Virginia, Florida, Texas, California, and North Carolina to increase service for our clients and maintain strong relationships with industry consolidators.
