Deep Water Point & Associates hires Brooke Smith as CEO
Deep Water Point & Associates (DWPA), a management consultancy focusing on the federal market, has hired Brooke Smith as chief executive officer. He is based in the firm’s Annapolis, MD headquarters.
Smith succeeds DWPA founder Howard Seeger, who has led the company since its launch in 2002.
Private equity firm Renovus Capital Partners acquired Deep Water Point in October 2022 and the following month bolted on Wolf Den Associates, a McLean, VA-based federal contractor consulting firm. The company in March rebranded to Deep Water Point & Associates.
"I am proud of what we have accomplished at Deep Water Point & Associates over nearly two decades and equally excited about our bright future," said Seeger. "Brooke is a seasoned executive with extensive experience in operations and market growth strategies. He is an ideal executive to usher Deep Water Point & Associates into its next phase and we are pleased that he will lead our growing team."
Smith brings more than 40 years of experience with a focus on leading growth strategy development and execution for federal market companies.
He joins DWPA from Salesforce, where he spent the last four years as VP of business development and strategy. Before that, Smith spent 11 years at Throughline – a business consultancy serving federal agencies and private sector companies – where he was latterly chief growth officer.
He was also previously a VP overseeing multiple global accounts at Xerox, SVP for corporate business development and strategy at QinetiQ North America, and COO at TKC Communications.
Smith began his career at General Dynamics, where he held various engineering and program management roles.
He has a bachelor’s degree in industrial technology from the University of Southern Maine.
"We are thrilled to welcome Brooke as CEO of Deep Water Point & Associates," said Grayson Harcourt, principal at Renovus Capital. "Brooke's expertise in operations and strategic growth will be a huge asset to the Company as it continues to grow and serve clients in the Federal market. We are grateful for Howard's leadership and vision over the years and are excited to have him join the Renovus family as an Operating Partner."
DWPA provides federal contractors with services in business development, capture and proposal, transaction advisory, strategy and management consulting, and market intelligence. The firm has 450+ employees with experience spanning federal civilian, DOD, intelligence community, and health and life sciences markets.
