About Aptos

Built for the decisions that actually move enterprise value.

Aptos Strategy Group, Inc. is a technology enabled strategy firm serving GovCon companies, private equity firms, and their portfolio companies. We are not a government contractor. We are the strategy partner operators bring in when market intelligence, capture decisions, talent gaps, and enterprise value priorities need to move as one connected system.

Founder

Built by an operator.

Reinaldo Rey Rivera, Founder, Aptos Strategy Group
Reinaldo “Rey” Rivera
Founder · U.S. Army Sergeant Major (Retired) · 24+ years in the federal market

Rey founded Aptos Strategy Group, Inc. after 24 years building careers, and pipelines, across the federal market. As a U.S. Army Sergeant Major he led financial operations across global combatant commands and earned a Bronze Star on combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. As a senior growth executive he has built and run $400M+ pipelines for small and large GovCon firms, including Private Equity-held companies.

He believes the federal market rewards firms that move on signal before their competitors do, and that the best advisory work comes from people who have actually carried the pipeline number. Aptos exists to put that operator judgment in the room when a pursuit, a hire, or an exit is on the line.

Rey holds an MBA from American Intercontinental University and a BBA from Colorado Technical University. He carries an active Top Secret/SCI clearance and is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. He is an active member of the Society of Defense Financial Management (SDFM), AFCEA, and AUSA. A native of Carolina, Puerto Rico, he is a fluent Spanish speaker.

Rey lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, with his wife and two daughters, who run the household on a tighter cadence than any pursuit calendar.

What sets Aptos apart

Three operating principles, not slogans.

Independent and aligned

100% conflict-free advisory. As a non-contracting firm, Aptos provides strategic support with zero Organizational Conflict of Interest. We work for the firm hiring us, and only that firm.

Operator first

Built from decades of mission-critical experience from the tactical edge to the executive suite. Aptos turns strategy into executable decisions, not static slideware.

Network over headcount

Modern automation, AI-assisted analysis, structured workflows, and a vetted partner bench let Aptos move faster without exposing the proprietary methods that make the work valuable.

The firm

Where we are. Who we serve.

Headquarters

Loudoun County, Virginia. Within the Northern Virginia GovCon ecosystem, with access to federal customers, capital partners, and the operator bench that drives the market.

Clients

Founder- and CEO-led firms between roughly $5M and $250M in revenue, private equity firms managing portfolio companies in or adjacent to the federal market, and the operating leaders who run them.

What we do not do

Aptos does not bid on, prime, or subcontract federal work. We do not render legal, tax, or audit opinions. We coordinate with your licensed advisors who do.

What we will not promise

We do not guarantee wins or specific multiples. We are direct about probability, leverage, and risk, and we do not promise what the market will not deliver.
