Vivek Malhotra, co-founder and most recently president of Fairfax, Virginia-based cybersecurity firm VMD, has joined Xcelerate Solutions as president.
Xcelerate said Wednesday Malhotra’s appointment came three months after the company merged with VMD to expand its portfolio of information technology and security capabilities for federal government clients.
Malhotra has over two decades of leadership and technical experience. His knowledge of the government marketplace and expertise in technology application will be key in advancing Xcelerate’s growth initiatives.
“Vivek’s ability to foster innovation while balancing the bottom line will help to build our solution portfolio and enhance our value to our federal clients,” said Mark Drever, CEO and founding partner of Xcelerate.
Malhotra’s industry career included time serving in technical positions at Titan Secure Solutions, ECS and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL).
