In a recent Executive Spotlight interview, David Messina, executive vice president of national security division at Modern Technology Solutions Inc., talked about the company’s almost three decades of organic growth and its initiatives to sustain it and drive values for customers. The Q&A also tackled MTSI’s industry partnerships, the company’s efforts to help and give back to the greater community, and the federal sector’s cybersecurity-related challenges.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Messina:
“This is a very impressive company with a 29-year track record with as many years of steady organic growth. It will be 30 years next year and we are planning a big anniversary celebration. Even during down DOD budget years, sequestration, etc., the company still grew. It maybe did not grow quite as fast — but in most other years it grew 15-18 percent — the company has a great track record of consistent organic growth.
I think it comes down to the kinds of programs that we work on being highly technical, usually surrounding research and development and leading-edge problem solving for the customer. Those kinds of programs are usually protected in the budget because it is your future. The other key factor is that the people we hire are just outstanding. We have some very smart people that our customers rely upon to keep these critical programs moving and going in the right direction.”
