Federal Contractors | Technology 2024: SCOTT McINTYRE

McIntyre was retained as chairman and CEO after Guidehouse, a federal contractor and global provider of technology and consulting services, was acquired by a Bain Capital Private Equity affiliate for $5.3 billion in December 2023.

Guidehouse had been owned by Veritas Capital since 2018. Employing more than 17,000 people in 55 locations across the globe, Guidehouse was formed when Veritas purchased PricewaterhouseCoopers’ U.S. public sector business, for which McIntyre served as managing partner. He became Guidehouse’s CEO with that ownership change.

In April, Guidehouse announced it had won a contract valued up to $12 billion to provide systems engineering support for the U.S. Air Force’s intercontinental ballistic missiles fleet. A subsidiary of BAE Systems originally held the contract and filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office. In June, the GAO ruled in BAE’s favor, sending the contract back to the Air Force for re-evaluation.

McIntyre has been named to Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 list of top government contracting leaders for eight consecutive years. He is also a member of The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council and was recognized as a Top 50 Consulting Firm CEO of 2023 by The Consulting Report.
