Aker Business

About Us

Who We Are

Aker Business is a Michigan based operator-investor focused on acquiring and scaling mid-sized Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Systems Integration companies. We combine the discipline of an institutional investment platform with the agility of a founder-led operator. Our mandate is clear: consolidate the fragmented IT services sector and build a high-performing portfolio of modern, scalable, and technology-driven service organizations.

We identify profitable but under-optimized IT service providers and transform them through structured integration, centralized operations, and shared service efficiencies. Our approach goes beyond financial ownership — we embed leadership, strengthen delivery models, and modernize infrastructure to unlock sustainable value creation.

Aker Business is led by entrepreneur Sam Mathew, whose experience spans IT operations, supply chain management, and multi-sector P&L leadership across North America and Asia. Guided by disciplined execution and a long-term outlook, Aker Business is building a defensible and scalable platform in the evolving IT services landscape.
