WWC Global Acquired by Command Holdings, a Pequot Company

WWC Global, a federally focused consulting firm, was acquired by Command Holdings, a holding company owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, to function as a scalable infrastructure for the entity. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

With just under $100 million in annual revenue and 350 employees, WWC Global brings a robust operations unit and a wide portfolio of customers including the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Lauren Weiner, Donna Huneycutt, and Heidi Snell, the principals of WWC Global, joined Command Holdings as members of the executive team.

“With our shared values and strong culture, this acquisition creates new opportunities for our customers, staff, and partners,” said Lauren Weiner, WWC Global CEO. “We set the standard as the Small Business Administration’s top 8(a) graduate in 2022. This transition enables us to continue to put good government into practice with the same degree of excellent client service, product delivery, and communication levels. As part of Command Holdings, we will work toward creating a new kind of tribally owned business.”

WWC Global will increase Command Holdings reach to now include over 400 employees in seventeen time zones. Both companies see the opportunity to apply WWC Global’s expertise in management consulting to optimize operations and act as a platform for continued exponential growth.

“The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe is an industrious nation,” said Angelina Casanova, Chair of the Command Holdings Board of Directors. “We have re-imagined and pioneered the $35+ billion tribal gaming industry with our Foxwoods properties and diversified beyond hospitality into professional services. This expansion of Command Holdings provides greater sustainment for the tribe’s economy and career opportunities for generations of Pequots to come.”

“At Command Holdings, we are focused on expanding our professional services footprint, specifically in the federal government,” said Jon Panamaroff, Command Holdings CEO. “The acquisition of WWC Global enables us to do this, while also working to establish an enterprise of best-in-class tribally owned government contracting firms.”

Command Holdings is the non-gaming investment arm of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. The company’s seven generation strategy is grounded in growing and sustaining the tribe’s economy and providing career opportunities for tribal members for generations to come.

Progress Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to WWC Global in this transaction.
