Aretum has acquired Veterans Engineering, a technology solutions provider serving the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal clients, strengthening its cloud delivery, cybersecurity and digital transformation capabilities across key federal markets.
Founded in 2005 and based in Rockville, Maryland, Veterans Engineering provides IT modernization, process engineering, organizational change management, health care technology, cybersecurity, cloud architecture and digital transformation services. In addition to the VA, the company has supported the departments of Homeland Security, State, Energy and the Defense Health Agency, among others.
“This acquisition represents a strategic leap forward in our ability to support critical federal missions,” said Rohit Gupta, CEO of Aretum. “Veterans Engineering’s technical strength, track record in complex modernization programs, and commitment to mission outcomes are an ideal complement to Aretum’s capabilities. Together, we will accelerate innovation, expand value to our customers, and deepen service to agencies that protect and improve the lives of Americans — including our nation’s veterans.”
Veterans Engineering will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aretum. The company will integrate many of Veterans Engineering’s operations, systems and delivery teams while retaining key technical and leadership personnel, including Vice President of Solution Delivery Dr. Wally Potts, to ensure continuity for customers and contract performance.
“I am happy to have Veterans Engineering transition to Aretum and its capable leadership team,” said Neil Snyder, president of Veterans Engineering. “I am excited that our VE team will continue to serve our existing customers with the same mission focus I have had as a veteran for these last 20 years.”
The combined organization plans to expand work in cloud modernization, enterprise cybersecurity, digital transformation and data-driven mission systems across defense, intelligence and civilian markets, supporting customers across the Defense Department, the VA, other civilian agencies and state governments.
The acquisition was backed by Renovus Capital Partners, a lower middle-market private equity firm focused on knowledge and talent-enabled businesses.
“Veterans Engineering has built a mission-driven organization grounded in service, technical excellence, and delivery quality,” said Manan Shah, partner at Renovus Capital Partners. “The combined platform strengthens Aretum’s position across federal technology programs and creates a compelling foundation for continued growth — both organically and through future strategic acquisitions.”
