What I'm looking for
I am a bid management professional with over 10 years of experience driving IT innovation and delivering customer-centric, outcome-focused proposals. I specialize in designing technical solutions, leading complex bid pursuits, and translating commercial strategy into executable, profitable bids.
I have led cross-functional and virtual teams through large multimillion-dollar bid cycles, chaired deal-qualification boards, and presented business cases for executive approval based on ROI, risk assessment, and profitability. I focus on cost and pricing strategy, construction and materials estimating, and continuous process improvement to increase win rates.
I excel at stakeholder management, mentoring high-performing teams, and aligning sales, product, finance, and delivery functions to produce compliant, competitive responses to RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs. I bring strong attention to detail, negotiation skills, and a customer-centric approach to every pursuit.
