Highlight Technologies and Katmai Professional Services teamed up to create Katmai-Highlight Government Services. This joint venture partnership connects to Katmai and Highlight’s Small Business Association-approved Mentor-Protégé relationship.
“Given both companies’ commitment to stakeholder equity and client impact, our strategic partnership with Katmai Professional Services made perfect sense,” said Aarish Gokaldas, CEO of Highlight. “I look forward to bringing our joint capabilities together to serve our current and future government clients.”
KHGS combines both companies’ subject matter expertise, customer relationships, core capabilities and delivery models to provide end-to-end digital, professional and public health services. Together, they have supported the federal government for over 20 years across the defense, national security, international development and health sectors.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with Highlight into a formal joint venture, which will ultimately increase the capabilities and support that we can provide to our Government clients and their missions,” said Jerry Roach, general manager and vice president of Katmai Professional Services.
“Together, Katmai and Highlight create a formidable team with the right people, processes, and technologies that will provide high-quality, low-risk solutions to meet the needs of the federal government.”
Katmai is managed under Katmai Government Services, an Alaskan Native Corp. holding company, and is an SBA-certified 8(a) Small Disadvantaged Business. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ouzinki Native Corp.
Highlight is an employee-owned federal contractor that provides agile software development, business and mission support and IT services to over 20 federal government agencies. Its management structure supports large-scale programs and expand digital services to Katmai’s portfolio of service offerings.
Katmai-Highlight Government Services will bring broader offerings for both organizations to meet the unique federal needs.
