Both sides of the federal table

I have been a federal employee and an industry executive. I understand how agencies plan, justify, and buy work, and how contractors win and deliver it.

Early engagement, honest counsel

I tell clients plainly whether a pursuit is worth their money and where they can realistically compete. If a pursuit isn’t a fit, I say so.

Direct principal involvement

There are no account managers and no handoffs. The person you meet is the person doing the work.

Recognized federal track record

I was named USACE Silver Jackets Coordinator of the Year in 2018. The team I led was named USACE Silver Jackets Team of the Year for Puerto Rico in 2020.
