About
The Shawmark Group was founded in 1999 as an investment vehicle active in the Federal Defense Community. Our mission is making investments that support the success of government contracting entities. We focus on creating liquidity for owners of federal contracting companies.
Jon M. Stout has over 30 years of experience in founding, growing, and managing government contracting firms. In 1988, he founded DPC Technologies and grew that business from a start up to over $70 Million in revenue before selling the company to Northrop Grumman Corporation in 1999. The acquisition of DPC allowed Northrop Grumman a means of entry into key intelligence agencies, and was responsible for Northrop Grumman winning a major portion of a multi-billion dollar outsourcing program, as well as significant signal intelligence programs.
In 2000, Jon led a group of investors in a turnaround of failing defense contractor Hadron, Inc. After restructuring the company, Jon merged Hadron with Analex, Inc (Amex: NLX) in November of 2001 and migrated the new organization into a strong position in the military intelligence community. Analex specializes in developing intelligence, cyber security, systems engineering, and bio-defense solutions in support of our nation’s security. In Fiscal Year 2000, the company generated $19.9 million in revenue. As a result of Jon’s efforts, 2003 revenue exceeded $66 million and a large number of Intelligence Community jobs were created.
Jon presently directs the business development activities of Aspiration Software LLC in the Advanced Systems Engineering and Integrated Intelligence areas in the Federal Intelligence Community.
Jon is a 1971 graduate of the University of Chicago Law School and belongs to a number of scholastic and charitable organizations, including the Harper Society of the University of Chicago, Lotus 88 Foundation for Women and Children, Fisher House, and the Wounded Warrior Project.
