Government Proposal Writer & Consultant - 20 Yrs Experience

EXPERT GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL /SBIR WRITER with over 17 years of experience in the government contracts field. My expertise spans from working in high level federal contracting to assisting small businesses capture government opportunities. I spent 8 years working for the Dept of the Army as a contracts specialist and source selection official at various locations as Fort Drum, Fort Lee, and The Pentagon (OSD). I also spent 9 years working in the private sector for major defense contractors, serving both the Navy and the Army, as both a proposal and contracts manager. With my experience as a government purchaser and a government contractor I am able to: • Help companies refine their government proposal process and help them attain their goals; • Leverage your company into a winning position; • Complete compliance Matrix and color team reviews; • Develop a scalable proposal library to purposefully reuse content; • Develop clear, concise, and compelling content for a winning proposal! I created Labyrinth Contract Management 8 years ago. Many small businesses had amazing business ideas and offerings that could provide real value to the government, but the proposals they were submitting did not portray their value. They weren’t winning proposals; that’s where I come in! I wanted to really make a difference in people’s lives and that’s what a government contract can do at a fraction of the cost of other big name proposal companies that small businesses can’t afford.
