A Message from Kevin T. Mabie,
Valador President and CEO
Welcome to Valador’s website. Valador is an Information Architecture Company whose mission is to protect and develop our Nation’s technologic, strategic and military assets. We do this by developing effective information architectures that deliver actionable information, not just data. Our Modeling & Simulation supports analysis of alternatives, which provides decision makers clear information. Our Information Assurance work is supported by a Valador-developed Decision Support System. Founded in 2001, Valador has rapidly grown to a company with nearly 60 employees and revenue over $10M. Over the past three years, we have been honored to serve on programs of national importance, including the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, and the Space Shuttle Return to Flight Initiative. These efforts, combined with our work for the Department of Veterans Affair Center for Veterans Enterprise, led to Valador receiving the 2003 Enterprising Veteran award.
Our research and development efforts bring continued development and expansion to our Modeling and Simulation and Information Assurance capabilities – supporting complex programs with a focus on decision support systems, simulation-based acquisition, and visual simulations. Our use of commercial gaming technology has saved NASA over $19M and accelerated their schedule by four years.
We’ve successfully developed a high-performance team that embodies the values of our company – responsiveness, honesty and integrity and a passion for our work. Our clients rely on these values for support in times of crisis as well as during normal operations.
Valador is an employee owned company. It is one of my strongest beliefs that every employee should own a piece of Valador. I believe that long term-sustained growth can only be achieved with bright, motivated, and loyal employees. When we started Valador, we wanted to attract the best and brightest, so we combined stock ownership with great benefits. Valador pays for 100% of health premiums, and contributes up to 25% of salary into a profit sharing program. Unlike most of our competition, we don’t win with low costs by cutting employee benefits.
Thank you for your interest in Valador. We invite you to explore the site and learn about us and the exciting work we are performing.
