Current: Chairman and CEO, Eclat

When Greg Baroni left Unisys a little over a year ago, everyone wondered what his next move would be. Baroni has since founded a professional services company, Eclat — literally, “brilliance of success.” “Our success is defined by the brilliance of our clients’ success,” says Baroni. With a public sector focus, Eclat delivers a broad range of services across federal, state, and local, higher education, and nonprofit markets. The company already has a robust pipeline and industry experts, thanks to its August 2009 purchase of BearingPoint’s remaining public sector assets. Through that transaction, Eclat acquired nearly 200 people and approximately 100 contracts. “We’ve challenged ourselves to leverage this initial platform from BearingPoint, and build a professional services company that achieves $500 million in revenue in five years,” says Baroni. Strategic projects include the U.S. Army Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS) project, which connects 10,500 Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve units at approximately 4,000 sites worldwide; an outsourcing initiative with Northrop Grumman and the County of San Diego, California; and a grants management outsourcing contract with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. In 2010, expect the company to keep up the pace with a new name — and this vision from Baroni: “We plan to grow organically and through acquisition, tripling our size as we exit 2010,” he says. Will Baroni meet his goal?
