Donald Hoffman Completes Reacquisition of Excel Services Corporation

In a significant development for the consulting sector, Donald Hoffman, the founder and leader of Excel Services Corporation, has regained full ownership of the company. The announcement came on July 16, 2025, marking a new chapter for Excel as it strives to establish its identity as an independent consultancy in the nuclear advisory services market.

Excel Services, a Rockville, Maryland-based firm, specializes in various consulting and regulatory services, particularly within the nuclear sector. Over the previous eighteen months, Excel had been under the partial ownership of Pelican Energy Partners, a Houston-based private equity firm that had invested in the company in December 2023. This investment aimed to bolster the firm's ability to support its clients while seeking synergies with Pelican’s other investments.

After a period of collaboration and notable changes at Excel, both organizations determined that Excel could better achieve its growth objectives by operating independently, rather than integrating with other products and services. Consequently, Pelican Energy Partners decided to sell its equity interest back to Hoffman, with the transition officially taking effect on July 1.

Donald Hoffman expressed gratitude for the insights and business support that Pelican provided during its tenure as a part-owner. He noted, “We are thankful for the nuclear expertise and strategic backing that Pelican brought to our company. We anticipate further collaboration with them moving forward as we aim to reach new heights in our industry.”

Similarly, Mike Scott, the Founding Partner of Pelican, acknowledged the mutual benefits derived from the partnership. He stated, “Our partnership with Excel has been fruitful, and we are excited to continue working with them in a new capacity. We wish them ongoing success as they aim to strengthen their position as a leader in nuclear advisory services.”

Excel Services Corporation has built a robust reputation in the industry, offering a range of services including, but not limited to:

• - Operations and maintenance cost reduction
• - Workforce enhancement
• - New reactor development and technology recommendations
• - Nuclear regulatory policy development
• - Critical infrastructure protection

The company collaborates with several regulatory bodies, including the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency, emphasizing its expertise and commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.

Looking ahead, the reacquisition is expected to provide Excel with the opportunity to expand its market share while maintaining a strong focus on its core services. The leadership transition will enable Hoffman to leverage his vision and insights to steer the company toward greater innovation and client satisfaction.

With this renewed independence, Excel Services is poised to further enhance its offerings and address the unique challenges faced by its clients in the nuclear sector, ultimately reinforcing its position as a trusted advisor in the industry.
