I am an award-winning manager of responses to Federal and State government Request for Proposals (RFP).  I developed a repeatable process for producing proposals based on best practices and lessons learned. My deep understanding of RFPs is enhanced by my experience consulting with government agencies as they developed their RFPs and evaluated proposals from other contractors. I know what is necessary for a small business to register with the government, get set-aside certifications (e.g. 8a, woman owned business), how to market your business, identify contract opportunities, know your competition and develop a winning proposal.

I have performed as a senior strategic planning consultant to government customers. I am expert in tailoring large-scale project management, systems engineering and integration processes to smaller systems while maintaining their effectiveness.

I defined and documented a customer’s strategic direction for the next three to four years and planned the allocation of resources to move forward effectively in changing business conditions. I am skilled in the design, development, production and delivery of in-house training. I have appeared in Lockheed Martin publications and the Software Productivity Consortium magazine.
