After 20 years of experience leading diverse teams to win large, complex business development (BD), capture and proposal efforts for the top federal contractors within the United States defense and civilian arena, I founded The Peerless Group. We are a boutique small woman and minority-owned business serving the government contracting community. We specialize in capturing large, strategic federal contracts primarily in technology, engineering, and research and development (R&D) services and integration, up to the Top Secret (TS) level. Our areas of focus include but are not limited to: enterprise IT, cyber, space, health, and FEDSIM opportunities. I thrive on solving my customers’ toughest challenges by cultivating a culture of collaboration and actively engaged leadership and empowering individual team members with the knowledge, processes, and tools to execute and excel. I built my reputation in the GovCon industry by bidding and winning large, strategic opportunities within the Defense and Federal Civilian agencies with a focus on emerging and next generation technologies and solutions. I've held capture management positions at leading Federal Government Contractors: Leidos, GDIT (legacy CSRA and CSC), SAIC (legacy Engility), where I successfully closed $2B in new and re-compete business. My diverse background includes working for start-ups, mid-sized and large businesses in growth-oriented roles. This background, coupled with my experience studying in Spain and living and working in Japan supporting government and academia, provides me with a broad worldview and appreciation for differing perspectives to meet business objectives. I hold a Federal CIO certification, an MS in Technology Management from George Mason University and BA in Journalism from the University of Maryland College Park. Outside of my corporate job, I have volunteered as the Marketing and Publicity Co-Chair Video Lead for the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) National Capital Area assisting with their overall marketing and communications strategy. I cherish my time with my family and friends. I am a wife, mother of 2 young kiddos, lover of travel, life-long learner, and fitness enthusiast.
