Booz Allen Expands its Commercial Footprint in Charlotte

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) announced today its plans to expand its presence in Charlotte as part of its commercial growth and expansion goals.  

Booz Allen’s business focus in Charlotte will be in the commercial sector, with initial emphasis in the financial services, energy, and health care industries. Booz Allen will be hiring professionals with expertise in these industries who also have experience in business process and systems implementation. As a leading provider of management and technology consulting services to the U.S. government in the defense, intelligence, and civil markets and to not-for-profit organizations, Booz Allen plans to leverage its strong functional reputation in the Charlotte commercial industry.

“Booz Allen’s expansion in Charlotte furthers the firm’s commitment to providing our financial services, energy, and health care clients with solutions to strategy and organization, technology, operations, and analytics challenges,” said Patrick Peck, executive vice president and head of Booz Allen’s U.S. commercial business.  “We are excited about building our footprint in Charlotte, which will help Booz Allen meet its growth plans for the East coast and throughout the United States.”
