Guidehouse’s Scott McIntyre Shares 3 Great Qualities of GovCon Investors

While Guidehouse has been acquired twice since emerging from the public sector segment of PwC in 2018, CEO Scott McIntyre tells us that there were three key things in common between Veritas Capital and Bain Capital, the two purchasers. The Wash100 Award winner spoke to Executive Mosaic late last year in a video interview with Senior Content Specialist Charles Lyons-Burt, filmed at the 2024 Baird Defense & Government Conference.

Timing

Both Veritas and Bain, McIntyre said, came at the “right time in our cycle.”

Commitment to Quality

McIntyre anchored his comments earlier in the day at the conference in notions of integrity and interpersonal strength. He shared in our interview that in both the lead-up to the transactions and in collaborating as a unit, Veritas and Bain were “really palpably committed to working with us to build a great business … Building a great band, one that is ubiquitous…one that is very well known for quality.”

Agreeability

There’s something to be said for congenial professional partnerships, and the third main commonality that made Guidehouse know they were in good hands is that, simply, “they’re great people to work with … we like working with [them].”

“I’m no longer working with Veritas, so I’m free to critique,” McIntyre joked, before deeming their team as “high integrity, honest people…deeply, deeply focused on relationships.”

During the interview, which you can watch below and on YouTube, McIntyre also discussed the global work of the organization, including a recent contract placement from the U.S. Agency for International Development, and illuminates viewers about how they have grown their healthcare business to over $1 billion in revenue.
