Pivotal Insight-GDI Merger Creates New Management Consulting Firm; David Cooke Quoted

Pivotal Insight and Global Defense Inc. have merged business operations into a new company that will focus on providing management consulting services to federal civilian and defense customers.

Forge Forward said Thursday it seeks to apply data and engineering services in efforts to help organizations manage business models, budgets and projects.

David Cooke, CEO of Forge Forward, said that Pivotal and GDI have a shared passion for delivering customer services.

“This merger provides our clients and staff with more complete services, giving us greater flexibility with the use of contracts, sharing past performances, halving overhead and leveraging talent and relationships,” added Cooke, who founded and served as president at Pivotal Insight.

Former GDI President Doug Meyer will hold the same position at the combined firm.

The new company is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and will offer services in the areas of acquisition and program support, rate of change, assessment and evaluation, data science, engineering and strategy and resilience planning.
