As part of its quest to move up the food chain of publicly-traded companies, Castellum brings in a new chief financial officer with deep roots in the commercial and government contracting accounting worlds.
Castellum has hired David Bell as chief financial officer in a move to bolster the company’s push to elevate its standing as a publicly-traded company.
Bell joins the defense technology integrator after a 28-year public accounting career at Deloitte and Arthur Anderson. At Deloitte, he worked with defense and technology companies and as chief of staff for the firm's national office.
“He fills our need for someone with deep technical accounting expertise, seasoned leadership and management skills, and creativity as a business thinker,” said Castellum CEO Mark Fuller. “David’s knowledge of accounting and governance best practices will serve us well as we move to up-list Castellum to a stock exchange over the next few months and for years to come.”
After the acquisition of Lexington Solutions earlier this year, Castellum reported annual revenue topped $42 million and that it would be seek to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange American, which focuses on small and mid-cap companies.
