Feature Highlight – “Why Watch [Jane Chappell]”

"In the two years since joining Altamira as the CEO, the company has almost doubled its revenue and more than doubled EBITDA. Given Altamira’s contract portfolio and Chappell’s focus on growth, the company has made significant strides in its focus areas of space, cyber and analytics. This has happened through strong organic growth and most recently, inorganic growth.

In addition to the focus on growth, Chappell and her team have instilled the programmatic and financial discipline and structure to ensure performance and predictability while still maintaining the agility of a mid-tier company.

‘Since becoming chief executive officer in 2021, Jane has developed and implemented a strategy to make Altamira one of the preeminent companies servicing the space, cyber and analytic domains in both the intelligence and defense communities,’ said Joe Wright, Altamira chairman. ‘She is an extraordinary exec who has also built one of the strongest teams in the business and we are seeing the results of her efforts.’”

In July 2019 McNally Capital invested in Altamira, a market leader in delivering innovative, mission-focused analytics, and engineering solutions to the U.S. national security community. Altamira was formed to address the growing gap in mid-sized innovators that possess the ability to scale as well as the agility to adapt to a rapidly changing threat environment and technology landscape.

McNally Capital’s investment stemmed from the firm’s investment thesis in national security and was consistent with the firm’s strategy of partnering with best-in-class management teams. The McNally Capital team is proud to support and be part of Altamira’s continued growth and success.
