BES Solutions, Inc. Opens Louisville Office to Expand Government Services and Local Opportunity
Veteran-, woman- and family-owned government contractor brings federal experience to its hometown
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — November 13, 2026 — BES Solutions, Inc. (BESS) has expanded to Louisville, opening an office at 635 W. Main Street, Suite 200. The office opened October 1, 2026, positioning the company to pursue state, local and regional opportunities while investing in its hometown.
Founded in 2018 by Louisville native and U.S. Air Force veteran Eronica Dew, BESS has supported federal agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration (Washington, DC), Department of Veterans Affairs (New Orleans) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (New York). Its services include program and project management, information technology, logistics, facilities and construction support, human resources, staffing and management consulting.
The Louisville expansion represents BESS’s strategic decision to build upon its federal experience while pursuing state, local and regional opportunities.
“This is more than opening another office. This is about coming home with experience, relationships and lessons learned—and using them to create opportunities for the community that helped shape us,” said Dew, BESS founder and CEO. “We want to help government agencies and organizations solve complex problems, pursue opportunities to create jobs for Louisville residents, and build pathways that allow talented people to grow without believing they must leave home to succeed.”
BESS secured more than $13 million in federal prime contracts during its early growth. The company holds a federal Facility Clearance and achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2 following an independent C3PAO assessment.
The Louisville expansion is led by Brooke Gladden, Dew’s sister and Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Growth. Gladden brings more than a decade of experience in workforce strategy, operations and client management across industries. BESS Vice President Brett Dew, a retired U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, supports program management, recruiting, security and operations.
The expansion comes as Louisville continues an important community conversation about its ability to recruit, retain and advance Black and Brown professionals.
Gladden was recently featured in Louisville Business First’s November 6 report, “Turbulence Over Talent,” which examined the challenges experienced professionals face when seeking opportunities in Louisville that match their credentials and potential.
“We cannot talk about retaining talent without building real pathways to meaningful work, leadership, ownership and economic mobility,” Gladden said. “Louisville has extraordinary talent. Our responsibility is to help create the structure, access and opportunities that allow that talent to be seen, developed and retained.”
BESS welcomes collaboration with government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofits and businesses to strengthen local capacity and expand economic opportunity.
