Client engagement

• Deep experience working with VA OIT – existing relationships with OIT leadership and program offices, and credibility with government stakeholders.
• Proven capture leadership – shaping opportunities, writing, and reviewing technical solutions, leading proposal volumes, and winning orals.
• Strong command of VA acquisition strategies – how VA buys, how TAC runs competitions, and how to tailor approaches to vehicles like T4NG and similar.
• Industry network – relationships across SDVOSB/VOSB partners, OEMs, ISVs, and system integrators to form effective, compliant teams.
• Delivery management – track record overseeing multi‑million portfolios with measurable results, governance, and risk controls.
