Matt Jones

President and CEO, Sigma Defense

In 2025, Sigma Defense expanded sales of Olympus, its software mobility platform, and aligned that growth with several major prime wins spanning air, land and sea, from the data center to the tactical edge.

Heading into 2026, the focus is on scaling what Sigma does best: delivering resilient software in contested environments and building the infrastructure warfighters need across the theater of operations. Matt Jones says he’s proud of what the team delivered in 2025 and even more focused on what comes next.

Sigma Defense has long prioritized delivering real value to government customers by moving fast, reducing complexity and putting capability into the hands of the warfighter without unnecessary overhead. Its open-architecture, software-defined approach lowers integration costs, leverages existing infrastructure and streamlines operations across the enterprise. The company stays anchored on customer needs and mission outcomes, guided by a belief that efficiency and effectiveness drive results.

Why Watch

In 2026, Sigma Defense is sharpening its focus on the customer experience. The technology already sets the company apart. Now the emphasis is on raising the standard for how Sigma operates day to day, with white-glove execution, accountability and consistency across every division. The company is leaning into its speed, agility and deep sense of ownership, qualities Jones says distinguish Sigma from its peers and will define the year ahead.

“Every morning I wake up, I think about how fortunate I am to be with Sigma,” Jones said. “It’s not a defense contracting firm; it’s a collection of people who have committed to challenging the status quo, to not accept inferior solutions, to not reinvent the wheel but rather to partner, leverage, integrate and deliver solutions that make a difference. Our customers feel the difference working with us and it’s a key reason we continue to rapidly expand our business.”
