Virtual Technologies Group Acquires Whitlock Infrastructure Solutions

Virtual Technologies Group has expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of Whitlock Infrastructure Solutions, a move that strengthens VTG’s position as a provider of integrated IT and cybersecurity services across several sectors that intersect with aerospace and defense. The transaction, supported by financing arranged by Brightwood Capital Advisors, adds deeper enterprise IT operations management expertise to VTG’s existing infrastructure, security, and cloud services portfolio.

For aerospace organizations that increasingly rely on resilient digital infrastructure, secure cloud environments, and high‑availability networks, the combined platform positions VTG to deliver more comprehensive support across distributed operations.

Strengthening Enterprise and Federal Capabilities

Whitlock brings specialized consulting, managed services, and long‑standing relationships with major software providers, complementing VTG’s existing strengths in managed IT and cybersecurity. The integration enhances VTG’s ability to serve enterprise customers and federal agencies that require consistent performance, rapid incident response, and strong governance across complex environments.

VTG Chief Revenue Officer Quentin Gayles noted that customers are seeking fewer handoffs and more accountability across their technology ecosystems. He highlighted Whitlock’s ValueFirst methodology and 24×7 FirstCall support as important additions that will help standardize service delivery and improve observability across distributed sites. For aerospace manufacturers and defense organizations, these capabilities support higher uptime and more predictable operations in environments where system reliability is essential.

Strategic Fit Supported by Jacmel Partners

Jacmel Partners, VTG’s private equity sponsor, described the acquisition as a key step in building a leading end‑to‑end IT services platform. Co‑Founder and Co‑Managing Partner Nick Jean‑Baptiste emphasized Whitlock’s technical depth and track record deploying next‑generation technologies as central to the strategic rationale.

The combined platform will serve a broad customer base that includes energy, manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace and defense, financial services, and technology organizations. For aerospace readers, the expanded capabilities align with industry trends toward integrated digital operations, secure cloud adoption, and lifecycle support for increasingly connected production and mission systems.

Whitlock Leadership Sees Expanded Reach

Whitlock Co‑Founder and President Jeff Jamieson described the acquisition as an opportunity to bring the company’s expertise to a wider range of organizations. Whitlock’s offerings include enterprise service management, analytics, operational compliance, and automation, supported by partnerships with software providers such as OpenText, Freshworks, Dynatrace, and Keyfactor.

The company’s FirstCall and TotalCare service models provide continuous support and subscription‑based consulting, both of which are relevant to aerospace and defense organizations that operate under strict security and availability requirements.
