Oak Brook, IL, May 13, 2024 – Today, LAUNCH Technical Workforce Solutions, LLC announced they have acquired Professional Services Development, Inc. (PSD). After ten years of dedication to building and scaling their company, PSD sought to unite with LAUNCH as a strategic partner to advance their growth and development. PSD’s workforce will join LAUNCH and both leadership teams will ensure a smooth transition process for clients and employees.

PSD is a leader in aircraft conversions and has successfully recruited and hired many Visa candidates from outside the US. Combining their resources with LAUNCH will be a natural fit for the LAUNCH Global Access Program.

Mike Guagenti, LAUNCH CEO, commented, “We are excited to announce the addition of the PSD team to LAUNCH. We know their proficiency in recruiting and hiring Visa candidates, along with their expertise as an industry leader in the cargo conversion business, will enable us to offer enhanced support to some of our key clients. We are eager to welcome PSD’s employees to the LAUNCH family and will ensure a seamless transition.”

Armando Garcia, Executive VP of PSD, added, “This is an exciting time for everyone at PSD. We believe that the decision to expand our business model and provide support to new customers while creating more job opportunities for our employees is the right one. It’s a big win for us all to join forces with a reputable and established company with such an impressive growth trajectory. We are thrilled to see what the future holds for us.”

LAUNCH and PSD operate in many of the same facilities across the country. However, LAUNCH offers dedicated departments for recruiting, delivery, HR, compliance, payroll, safety, and more. The acquisition of PSD by LAUNCH will provide several benefits to PSD clients, staff, and contract employees. They will now have access to all the resources available at LAUNCH and a wider range of opportunities.

The LAUNCH and PSD leadership teams will work to convert all current PSD employees to LAUNCH and will be meeting with clients over the coming weeks.
