Looking to win RFP projects but lack the time and/or internal expertise to compete?
What if you could hand off the management, proposal development & strategy to someone you trust?
I work with teams to deliver clear, compliant, high-value proposals - calmly and on time. I produce winning proposals focused on positioning through:
- Differentiation - Core Value Proposition - Understanding Core Needs and Objectives - Matching Score Criteria Areas - Past Performance Projects and Testimonials - Simple and Intuitive Presentation Design - Stand out Executive Summary
I’m a Senior Proposal & RFP Specialist with 15+ years of experience supporting complex, high-value bids where clarity, compliance, and on-time delivery are non-negotiable. I step in at any stage of the process to help teams produce clear, persuasive, evaluator-focused proposals under pressure.
What I Can Support Immediately
- Full RFP / Proposal Writing (end-to-end or modular)
- Consultation on RFP's or in progress proposals
- Template, Layout, Graphic Design and Drawings
- Executive summaries & Win Themes
- Proposal restructuring, editing, and final review
- Submission readiness and quality control
I’m comfortable working from rough inputs, dense technical material, or partially completed drafts - and turning them into a coherent, compliant, and compelling response.
Why Clients Choose Me
- 15+ years handling complex bids - including large, high-risk submissions
- Structured and dependable - organized approach, clear milestones, no surprises
- Fast and focused - effective under tight timelines and evolving requirements
- Collaborative - I work smoothly with SMEs, sales teams, and leadership
Clients have told me they hire me not just for writing quality, but also for the confidence and stability I bring to high-stakes proposals.
Engagement Options

- One-off proposal or RFP response
- Proposal review and improvement
- Ongoing bid support (optional retainer)
