What I'm looking for

I seek roles advising capture and executive teams on pricing strategy and cost modeling for complex government procurements, where I can drive win probability and profitable outcomes.

I am a strategic pricing and cost analysis leader with over 20 years of experience securing major government contracts through price-to-win strategies, competitive intelligence, and rigorous financial modeling. I blend analytical rigor with business strategy, advising executive leadership and capture teams to shape competitive, risk-aware pricing approaches.

Throughout my career I have developed and optimized Excel/VBA pricing models, applied Monte Carlo simulations, led affordability and labor mapping analyses, and managed complex proposal cost volumes for multi-million-dollar pursuits. I hold an MBA, PMP certification, and a U.S. Secret clearance, and I am committed to delivering data-driven pricing solutions that improve win probability and program profitability.
