Viking M&A's 17th office brings decades of deal expertise to D.C. area's thriving market

WASHINGTON, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking Mergers & Acquisitions, a leader in business sales advisory and valuation, has expanded its presence with a new office in Washington, D.C., its 17th location and a key move in the firm's rapid growth across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Managing Partner Mark Ajamian, an experienced M&A advisor with over 25 years in corporate finance, valuation, and transaction advisory, will lead the office.

"The D.C. metro area has always been home," said Ajamian. "I was raised and educated here and have built my career mostly within this market. This deep-rooted connection allows me to leverage my extensive network and in-depth understanding of the region's business landscape."

Ajamian, who has spent much of his career in the D.C. area, sees strong demand for succession planning and deal-making across the region's government contracting, healthcare, and technology sectors.

"The D.C. area has always been an active market for M&A," Ajamian added. "Recently, we've seen a steady flow of transactions, with increased interest from both private equity and strategic acquirers looking to expand their footprints in regulated industries. The lower middle market remains particularly attractive, as many founder-led businesses seek succession solutions."

"The dynamic nature of deal-making, coupled with the ability to drive transformative outcomes for businesses, has kept me engaged and continually challenged in this space," said Ajamian. "I look forward to helping more business owners in the D.C. area achieve their goals."

With over 900 successful transactions, Viking M&A brings a data-driven, results-oriented approach to business owners looking to maximize value in a sale. Visit for more information on Viking and its services in the District and beyond.
