KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises The Goal, Inc. on its sale to Motion Recruitment Partners, a portfolio company of Littlejohn & Co.
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of its client, The Goal, Inc. (“The Goal” or the “Company”) to Motion Recruitment Partners, LLC (“Motion”), a portfolio company of Littlejohn & Co.
Headquartered in Reston, VA, The Goal is a leading technology talent and consulting provider that specializes in in-demand IT modernization capabilities for marquee clients in the public and private sector.
Leveraging its differentiated business model and strategic teaming partner approach, The Goal has been able to attract and retain scarce, highly-skilled technologists in the areas of application development, cloud enablement and DevOps, cybersecurity, and data management in support of long-term government contracts, commercial engagements, and other complex IT modernization programs. As an embedded partner and teammate, The Goal is well-positioned to expand its footprint within several high-growth, existing clients and capture significant new business opportunities with emerging clients in need of scalable talent solutions for complex IT modernization programs.
The acquisition adds The Goal’s expansive Federal IT consulting business to Motion Recruitment Partners’ existing company portfolio.
We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the Federal and commercial technology talent and consulting market:
• Significant market demand for highly skilled employees and in-demand capabilities focused on technology, application, infrastructure, and operation modernization creates highly attractive acquisition opportunities;
• Buyers continue to place significant value on firms with key Federal market presence, entrenched customer relationships, and long-term contractual engagements to augment existing client portfolio, scale, and accelerate growth; and
• Private equity continues to deploy capital in the technology talent and consulting market, building differentiated middle market platforms through buy and build strategies
