“We went to Veridian, we approached them,” said Roger Mody, the founder, president, chief executive officer and majority shareholder of Fairfax, Va.-based Signal. “We chose not to go through the auction process.”

Mody regarded defense and intelligence specialist Veridian as the right company to capitalize on Signal’s expertise and reputation in the government services sector. Signal would bring its own capabilities and customer base to Veridian while benefiting from the larger company’s skills and assets, he said.

One of Signal’s big high-profile programs is a $100 million contract it won in May2002 to provide a range of information technology services to Senate offices in Washington and to 450 Senate offices nationwide. Other Signal customers include the Army, Navy, Environment.

Signal’s annual sales last year reached $252 million, the company said. In May, Signal officials estimated that fiscal 2002 revenue would top $300 million.

Roger Mody has signed a three-year non-compete agreement. He said he intends to establish the Mody Foundation, which will help underprivileged minority children with their education.
