Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), focused more and more on government work. In 2008 it split off its less lucrative commercial consulting arm—under the name Booz & Co.—and became a pure government contractor, publicly traded and majority-owned by private equity firm Carlyle Group (CG).
Carlyle is the lynchpin. Booz is just one of its assets.
An informative look at Booz and Carlyle right before the sale happened:
That's completely inaccurate. Booz Allen was a private company that split into public and private consulting firms. The private side owned a larger stake of the overall company than it was "worth" so to do the split the public side sold some stock and took on debt to makeq up the difference when they split. After a few years they became a public company but at no point did where they owned by Carlyle.
Majority ownership is vary different from actual ownership. Also next line "On November 17, 2010, Booz Allen's shares of common stock began trading at the New York Stock Exchange."
Here is a nice nugget: Carlyle also owns CRG West (which has since been sold/renamed) -- CRG West was one fo the bid Datacenter owners - and even at one point owned MAE West.
