Core4ce’s co-founder, current chief financial officer and managing partner Mike Morehouse has been appointed CEO, effective April 5.
Morehouse is involved in Core4ce’s corporate merger and acquisition strategy. As a member of the board of managers, he helped shape Core4ce’s business strategies to set the company on a trajectory toward growth and innovation, the company said.
Morehouse will take the reins from current CEO Jack Wilmer. During his tenure, Wilmer oversaw five strategic acquisitions and worked to secure more than $500 million in Defense Department cybersecurity and engineering contracts.
“Core4ce would not be the company it is today, nor as well-positioned for future growth, without the mission-driven culture established under Jack’s leadership as CEO,” Morehouse said.
“We’re grateful for the expertise Jack brought to Core4ce following his role as DoD CISO. Under his leadership, Core4ce firmly established itself as a leader in defensive cybersecurity and digital modernization, with a focus on securing sensitive data.”
Morehouse brings over 40 years of experience in the U.S. defense, federal and intelligence markets. Prior to Core4ce, he was a founding director and board member of FGM, Inc., a software development firm. He also spent several years advising National Capital Companies on M&A projects.
“We have complete confidence in Mike to lead us into a new chapter marked by a renewed focus on innovation,” said Managing Partner Todd Harbour.
“Mike’s business acumen and industry experience has been vital in driving Core4ce’s strategic growth. This leadership transition comes as Core4ce is accelerating investments in data exploitation capabilities and products to help our federal customers gain competitive advantage.”
