Godspeed Capital Management has partnered with Special Aerospace Services to establish a new platform focused on delivering space engineering, missile defense, hypersonics and communications technologies to U.S. defense and intelligence community agencies and commercial space clients.
Heather Bulk, co-founder and CEO of SAS, will lead the new platform as it operates under the SAS brand, Godspeed Capital said Wednesday.
Warren Kohm, a defense and intelligence technology industry veteran with over 20 years of financial leadership experience, will join the new SAS platform as chief financial officer.
The new platform will operate with a portfolio of prime contracts and about 250 cleared employees focused on serving space and defense agencies and commercial companies.
“As demand for critical launch services, missile defense support systems including modeling and simulation, and advanced communication solutions continues to grow, this new platform will be well positioned to provide the solutions and technical excellence the industry will require,” Bulk said.
“We look forward to continuing to expand our offerings to support increasing investment within the space economy and meet the rapidly growing requirements for advanced space and defense solutions,” she added.
Cascadia Capital advised SAS in the transaction. Latham & Watkins acted as Godspeed Capital’s legal counsel.
