(January 7, 2025) – Valiant Solutions, LLC (Valiant), a recognized leader in cybersecurity, will proudly celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025, marking two decades of growth, innovation and unwavering commitment to federal agencies. Since its founding, Valiant has transformed from staffing small contracts to delivering innovative cyber solutions and expert resources on large-scale prime contracts, building trusted, long-term partnerships with its federal clients. 

“Our success is built on a steadfast commitment to service excellence and the care we extend to our employees,” said Matt Raydo, Valiant's founder. “I can’t thank our incredible leadership team enough for helping grow the company into what it is today. And we certainly wouldn’t be here without our exceptional delivery teams, who consistently deliver on our clients’ cyber objectives with a focus on performance and achievement.”

Valiant’s thriving corporate culture has been a cornerstone of its success, fostering personal and professional growth while promoting a healthy work-life balance. This approach has enabled the company to attract and retain top-tier cybersecurity talent, further solidifying its reputation as a trusted partner to clients across the nation.

In November 2024, Valiant entered an exciting new chapter with a strategic investment from Bluestone Investment Partners. As part of this transition, Raydo will step down as CEO but remain with the company to focus on business development. He will also retain a financial interest in the company and continue to serve on its board.

George Wilson, a proven technology executive with a distinguished career at ECS Federal and Stanley Associates, will assume the role of CEO, leading Valiant into its next phase of growth. Wilson shared, “Valiant has built an impressive reputation as a trusted partner in Federal cybersecurity. I am honored to join this exceptional team and excited to lead the company into its next chapter of growth. With Bluestone’s sector expertise, Valiant’s innovative solutions, and Matt’s continued leadership in business development, we are uniquely positioned to address the most complex cybersecurity challenges facing Federal agencies.”

Joining Wilson is Tom Weston, who will serve as President, bringing extensive leadership experience and a proven track record in financial management and mergers and acquisitions. Having a long history of successful collaborations, Wilson and Weston will combine their expertise to further propel Valiant’s growth, drive innovation, and deliver outstanding results for its clients. 

This investment positions Valiant for continued momentum in 2025 and aligns seamlessly with the company’s long-term growth strategy. As Valiant celebrates this incredible milestone, the company extends heartfelt gratitude to its team members, clients, partners, and the entire Valiant family for 20 years of trust, support, and loyalty. Here’s to continued success, innovation, and growth in this exciting new chapter and beyond!
