Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Popelier drove 4% organic revenue growth and 31% backlog growth in 2025.
  • ATS won WashingtonExec CEO of the Year and ACG Community Project honors in June 2026.
  • ATS keeps hiring across DevOps, software, and operations roles through August 2026.

What critics are saying

  • ATS depends on intelligence-community spending; a 2027 budget squeeze hits recompetes immediately.
  • ATS integration risk stays high after Entegra's 150 employees and Alder's systems overlap.
  • ATS's first CTO role, created in January 2026, exposes thin technology leadership depth.

What makes Acclaim Technical Services unique

  • ATS’s ESOP structure anchors retention and employee ownership since 2013.
  • ATS supports 100-plus languages for U.S. intelligence agencies.
  • ATS keeps buying mission-IT firms, adding Alder, Entegra, and cybersecurity capabilities.

Gloria Glaubman Named Inaugural CTO of Acclaim Technical Services

Gloria Glaubman named inaugural CTO of Acclaim Technical Services. Gloria Glaubman/GMG Consulting LLC Acclaim Technical Services has appointed Gloria Glaubman as its first chief technology officer. ATS said Wednesday Glaubman will oversee the company's technology strategy as it supports mission-critical intelligence community programs, underscoring its focus on delivering cybersecurity, engineering and technology for intelligence operations. "My goal as CTO will be to make sure our technology solutions help further scale our nation's critical missions," said Glaubman. Who is Gloria Glaubman? Glaubman is a senior technology and cybersecurity executive who recently retired after 20 years in government service. She currently holds advisory roles with Next Peak, Nihon Cyber Defence, the Japan Institute for CyberSpace Studies and Adelphi Data, and founded GMG Consulting in 2025 to provide board-level cybersecurity and emerging technology guidance. Previously, she served as senior cyber adviser at the U.S. embassy in Tokyo, leading the modernization of the Japanese government's cybersecurity practices, including zero-trust adoption and enhanced incident response. She also held multiple federal leadership roles, including executive director, overseeing enterprise cloud, artificial intelligence and data modernization for national security. Earlier in her career, Glaubman spent 15 years in senior federal information management and security roles and worked at Bell Atlantic and Verizon, managing secure telecommunications deployments for government and intelligence clients. What did ATS CEO David Popelier say about Glaubman's appointment? "As our first CTO, Gloria brings the ideal combination of technology leadership experience, a very deep understanding of our client base, and proven project management expertise in complex technical challenges. I look forward to Gloria driving next generation innovation that will help ATS deliver truly impactful mission-critical solutions that will serve both our current and future Intelligence Community clients," said David Popelier, CEO of ATS.
