As the Co-Department Leader, managing half of Eagle Point's consultants, I made it a goal of mine to equip all of our capable consultants with extensive technical know-how, the professional skills to succeed in their roles, and the emotional and professional support to reach their goals. In my time as Co-Department Manager, I managed to help our clients secure millions in federal funding and provided each consultant the opportunity to develop and grow as professionals. The responsibilities of the role included overseeing team KPIs, strategic planning and oversight, quality assurance, client satisfaction, and securing tens of millions of USD funding and investment from Federal agencies for EPF clients. In my time at Eagle Point, I worked with over 80 different company-clients and supported them with securing funding from almost every federal agency, including NASA, DoE, DoD, EPA, USDA, NIST, and more. My proudest accomplishments during my time at Eagle Point include seamless team growth, 100% employee retention during my tenure, and securing over $50M in federal funding and federal in-kind contributions.
