A veteran-owned and veteran-run company, more than 80 percent of Triple Canopy's workforce is made up of former military personnel.

Triple Canopy's new ESOP retirement structure will enable employees to share in the company's growth and success by earning shares in the business. According to Balderas, "Building an ownership culture with our newly established ESOP will strengthen our employee base and enhance the retention of experienced personnel worldwide. I cannot think of a better way to drive quality across an organization than to give employees ownership of the company and let them directly participate in its growth and success."
