Tom Peltier
Managing Director
The best way to consistently achieve transaction success is to over-prepare at the beginning of the process; this takes a banker with the patience and knowledge to do it right from the start.
Tom is a Managing Director of Progress Partners and focuses his efforts on providing investment banking services in the government services, defense, and intelligence sectors, as well as in the commercial technology services sector on a select basis.
His 30 years of experience at Stifel, Nicolaus & Company and Legg Mason have given him a long-term and in-depth knowledge of the technology solutions and services segments that enables him to provide unique insights of significant value to clients. Tom has assisted clients in both the public equity and private sector markets. He is best known for his track record in the government technology solutions and services market where he has completed over 80 M&A transactions and 30 public offerings raising over $5 billion in proceeds.
Tom was the founder and Group Head of the Aerospace, Defense and Government Services Group at Stifel, Nicolaus and Company (including the former Legg Mason investment banking business). He has been a trusted advisor to many successful executives, founders and boards in the market and maintains an extensive network among both the sources of capital for these companies as well as the potential buyers of these businesses. In 2010, Tom was named Dealmaker of the Year by the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Capitol Chapter. Tom is currently the Board President of The Family Tree, the largest organization focused on preventing child abuse and neglect in the state of Maryland.
