Industry Executive to Take the Helm
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LinQuest Corporation, a leader in space systems technology solutions for
U.S. defense and intelligence communities, has announced Timothy Dills
as its new Chief Executive Officer and President.
Dills’ appointment follows LinQuest’s acquisition by Madison Dearborn
Partners and CoVant Management and will provide new executive leadership
focused on continuing the company’s superior performance as well as
capitalizing on its future growth opportunities. As enhancing and
protecting national security space capabilities continues to be a U.S.
priority, Dills will lead a broadened corporate development strategy to
pursue opportunities that bring new market access and capabilities to
the company, expand its customer base, attract and retain top talent,
and increase engagement with all stakeholders.
“It’s a privilege to be named LinQuest’s CEO. I look forward to helping
the company reach the next level while expanding opportunities for our
greatest asset – our employees,” said Dills. “I believe in transparent
leadership fueled by honesty and trust. I am particularly pleased that
there is clear customer trust in LinQuest and incredible talent to
advance our customers’ critical missions.”
Dills was previously President of Scitor Corporation. Having joined the
company in 1989 and becoming its President in 2008, he helped Scitor
grow to be a $600M business. Following Scitor’s sale to SAIC, Dills
remained with the company for more than a year to support a successful
transition. While at Scitor, he also led the successful acquisition and
integration of Kinsey Technical Services, Inc. (KTSi), as well as
Intelligence Community related assets acquired from General Dynamics.
“We have selected an individual to lead LinQuest who has proven
leadership skills, an appreciation for our culture, an understanding of
our domain, customers and their missions, and a team-oriented management
style,” said Joseph Kampf, Chairman of LinQuest’s Board of Directors,
and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CoVant. “Tim’s experience,
industry background and leadership qualities will be essential in
guiding LinQuest as we move into the next phase and prepare for a robust
future.”
