I oversee the business development department, capture management, and proposal teams. I'm responsible for winning early clients and customers, and establishing and managing strategic partnerships. I provide leadership and direction to cross-functional teams, including SMEs, proposal writers, partners and subcontractor team members to ensure contract compliance and every new initiative is integrated with a single voice. I'm also responsible for driving federal proposals through the color team process and lead all aspects of the proposal and contract phases throughout entire contract life cycles (pre-bid, submittal, negotiation, and post award.)

After a decade within the DoD domain, I resigned when TravelWiFi offered a chance of a lifetime. I went to Iraq, started small, thought big and won the company’s first ever U.S. Government contract; becoming the first company to connect troops in a war zone with unlimited base-wide WiFi. Within two years, I had secured IT contracts at every U.S. base in Iraq. This work translated into winning a long term DoD contract under the Army and Air Force Exchange Service to provide base-wide WiFi services at every U.S. base in Afghanistan. I built upon my work in Iraq and Afghanistan and continued winning federal contracts in: Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. I took what I learned in the Middle East and won government contracts in Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Poland, Romania and the United States. Prior to leaving TravelWiFi, I helped lead the launch of a revolutionary international pocket-sized hotspot device. Proven to deliver global WiFi connectivity unchallenged by location, obstacles or terrain, the U.S. Military hails its virtual CloudSIM technology "a must-have."
