One Stop Systems (OSS) CEO Mike Knowles was appointed 19 months ago after most recently serving as VP/GM of $13.3 billion market cap Curtiss-Wright (CW)'s Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) division overseeing the strategic direction, operations, and performance of the division. CW is a unique defense contractor considering its specific focus on manufacturing mission critical components for aerospace systems including for NASA.
Prior to that he was President of Cubic Corporation's $700 million Mission and Performance Solutions business where he managed a team of 2,000 people. Cubic has 6,200 total employees and was previously a publicly traded company but went private in 2021 in a $3 billion transaction.
Earlier in his career he was Senior Director of Air Transport and Mission Solutions at Rockwell Collins, where he led $100 million in programs and managed a team of 300 people. Rockwell Collins was later acquired for $30 billion and is now known as Collins Aerospace a division of $153 billion market cap RTX Corp (RTX) better known as Raytheon.
He started his career at Lockheed Martin (LMT) where he led the company’s airborne C4ISR programs for E-6B and P-3 aircraft. With the connections he made at Lockheed Martin, after taking over Cubic's Mission and Performance Solutions business he was able to secure for Cubic large Lockheed Martin contracts: click here to see!
He has an aerospace engineering degree from the Naval Academy... so he is as connected as any defense/aerospace executive can possibly be and will land OSS massive new AI supercomputing contracts throughout all of 2025! OSS already has a $1 billion sales pipeline and is focused on finalizing these orders!
Last month, OSS decided they needed a more experienced Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary who can better handle the company's huge growth trajectory and the countless large contracts coming in 2025. OSS appointed Daniel Gabel to this position who was most recently CFO of CAES’ Defense System Division, a division of $147 billion market cap Honeywell (HON) that provides advanced electronic solutions to the U.S. aerospace/defense industry. Prior to that he was CFO of SEAKR Engineering a subsidiary of RTX Corp (RTX) aka Raytheon.
OSS management may not have $4.5 billion in successful exits over the past decade like Augusta Gold (TSX: G)'s Executive Chairman Richard Warke, but OSS has the best possible management team that any small-cap defense/aerospace technology company can possibly hope to have! Augusta Gold (TSX: G) was our #1 overall stock suggestion for 2024 and a buyout of the company at a massive premium appears to be imminent. OSS is our #1 overall stock suggestion for 2025!
