Combination advances Xpect’s strategy to build a differentiated mid-market federal technology platform spanning AI, fraud operations, enterprise IT, cybersecurity, data and digital modernization
Xpect Solutions (“Xpect”), a provider of enterprise IT, cybersecurity, digital modernization, and data and AI solutions to national security agencies, and a NewSpring Holdings platform company, today announced its acquisition of Amivero, a mission-driven technology solutions provider specializing in artificial intelligence, automation, fraud and intelligence operations, digital identity, data and analytics, and agile software development for Homeland Security agencies. At the center of the combination is a shared mission: protecting critical infrastructure, enabling secure information sharing and operationalizing AI for federal partners, while preserving the agility, customer intimacy and mission focus that define both organizations.
The acquisition represents an intentional step in Xpect’s strategy to build a solutions-oriented federal technology company serving national security missions across four key technical disciplines: enterprise IT, cybersecurity, digital modernization, and data and AI. Amivero accelerates that strategy by adding complementary capabilities and customer relationships. Its expertise in AI and automation, fraud operations, digital identity and software development complements Xpect’s strengths in network modernization, zero trust, cyber operations, physical security, cloud, DevSecOps and mission-focused data solutions. Together, the organizations will accelerate R&D and investment in repeatable, productized solutions that help federal partners modernize and scale mission-critical systems and move AI from experimentation to operational capability.
The organizations also share a strong cultural foundation and commitment to investing in their people. Amivero’s emphasis on transparency, purpose and human-centered, data-driven delivery closely aligns with Xpect’s focus on mission impact, ownership and accountability. Through its Integrated Talent Management (ITM) program, Xpect invests in career development, leadership, mentorship and internal mobility, complementing Amivero’s own commitment to helping employees learn, grow and advance.
“Xpect’s strategy has always been about building the capabilities our customers need to solve their most important mission challenges,” said Yusuf Abdul-Salaam, CEO of Xpect Solutions. “Amivero’s technical strengths and customer relationships complement ours, but what makes this combination especially compelling is our shared commitment to mission, people and culture. Together, with over 450 team members, we have greater technical depth and scale to take on larger more complex mission challenges and accelerate the development of innovative solutions. Just as importantly, we’re doing it while preserving the agility, accountability and customer intimacy that define both organizations.”
“I feel a deep responsibility to the people who have built Amivero and to the customers who trust us with missions that matter,” said Olivia Trivisani Bowker, Founder and CEO of Amivero. “That responsibility guided every part of this decision. In Xpect, we found a partner that respects what we have built, shares our commitment to people and mission, and brings complementary strengths that will help us do even more. Many of Amivero’s leaders, including me, will continue serving in leadership roles across the combined company, helping shape its future and carry forward the culture, mission understanding and customer commitment that our employees and customers value. Together, we can create new opportunities for our employees and bring greater depth, scale and innovation to our customers while continuing to serve them with the care and accountability they deserve from our team.”
Together, Xpect and Amivero are creating a new kind of federal technology partner, combining the scale and technical depth to take on increasingly complex mission challenges with the agility, customer intimacy and accountability of a mission-focused organization.
