The Falfurrias Story: Partnering for Growth in National Security
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Falfurrias Capital Partners works with high-growth government services businesses to scale, create value, and execute on strategic vision.

This panel brings together both sides of the partnership, private equity and portfolio company leadership, to explore what truly drives successful outcomes in today’s competitive landscape.

Panelists

• Marybeth Wootton, Executive Advisor, Falfurrias Capital Partners 
• Ajay Patel, Senior Partner, Woven Solutions

Event Overview
Private equity continues to play a defining role in shaping the next generation of government contractors, bringing not just capital, but operational expertise, strategic guidance, and access to growth opportunities.

Falfurrias Capital Partners demonstrates this model through its “operator-led” approach, partnering with management teams to accelerate growth across high-priority national security sectors including cybersecurity, AI/ML, cloud, and mission IT. 

Through recent investments such as Woven Solutions and Synergy ECP, Falfurrias has demonstrated a clear thesis:

• Back technical differentiation and mission-critical capabilities 
• Invest in people-first cultures and elite engineering talent 
• Scale platforms through both organic growth and strategic M&A 

Marybeth Wootton will share how Falfurrias identifies winning platforms, leveraging its “Industry First” investment strategy and deep operational bench to support management teams beyond capital. 

Ajay Patel and Phillip Murphy will offer candid insights from the front lines, having partnered with other private equity firms throughout their careers, on what makes Falfurrias different and how the right partner can accelerate outcomes.
