    ManTech has issued a statement to mark the passing of its co-founder George J. Pedersen. He was 87.

    In the note, the ManTech family and those in the national security and federal contracting community remember Pedersen “for his more than 50 years of leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, patriotism and dedication toward ensuring our country’s most critical missions,” the company said.

    “All of us at ManTech are deeply saddened by George’s passing,” said ManTech Chairman of Board Kevin Phillips. “He was an early founder in our industry as well as a leader in the growth of the Greater Washington, D.C. region. He was gifted in business, an adaptive and decisive leader, and most of all committed to the missions that helped secure the lives and liberties of our nation’s citizens.”

    Pedersen’s compassion and care of those in the ManTech family “were legendary,” Phillips said.

    “He never gave up on something or someone he believed in,” he added. “We will miss him, but his legacy will continue within ManTech and in our continued support of our nation.”

    Pedersen built ManTech from its founding in 1968 to become a leader in the government services industry. Under his leadership, ManTech began trading on the Nasdaq in 2002, when it had $400 million in annual revenue. The company has since grown to $2.2 billion in annual revenue, with a global professional team of 9,400 employees.

    “George was not only a visionary entrepreneur but a remarkable and caring individual who played a pivotal role in shaping ManTech into the company it is today,” said ManTech CEO and President Matt Tait. “George’s legacy of service, sacrifice and mission success will long be remembered and remain a bedrock at ManTech and across the government industry.”
