Before joining Baird, Stack worked for more than two decades in the government services, aerospace and defense sector at California-based investment bank Houlihan Lokey. At Baird, Stack advises executives on mergers and acquisitions, raising capital and other corporate strategies.
Earlier this year, Baird served as the exclusive financial adviser for Kudu Dynamics, a Chantilly tech company that builds AI-powered cybersecurity tools for defense customers, on its $300 million acquisition by Reston-based federal contractor Leidos.
Baird also provided support for a $1.47 billion capital raise by AeroVironment, an Arlington County defense contractor, announced in July. “Tremendous momentum in defense tech!” Stack wrote on LinkedIn.
Another highlight of the past 12 months, Stack kicked off Baird’s 7th Annual Defense & Government Conference in November 2024. The event brought in more than 1,200 attendees.
A Duke University graduate, Stack also studied at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She serves on the boards of Inova Health and the Northern Virginia Technology Council.
