Key Achievements Bridging Military Expertise to Public Sector Success

Key Achievements Bridging Military Expertise to Public Sector Success
  • Leveraged Combat-Deployed Weapons & Sniper Proficiency for Niche Development: Analyzed federal spending data to identify underserved DoD niches in tactical systems, training simulations, and logistics support (e.g., aligning Iraq/Afghanistan deployment insights with set-asides for veteran-owned businesses); created targeted value propositions that positioned small firms to secure $20 million + in non-classified contracts.
  • Federal Sales Roadmap for DoD-Unclassified Opportunities: Developed data-driven strategies for DLA/AMC pursuits, forecasting realistic revenue from GSA vehicles and acquisition forecasts; eliminated low-yield pursuits to focus on high-impact, clearance-free roles like procurement advisory—directly transferable to outperforming competitors in veteran-preference bids.
  • Pipeline Building with Tactical Precision: Constructed a 50+ lead pipeline from RFIs, Sources Sought, and SBIR/STTR programs, incorporating sniper-honed risk assessment to calculate 30%+ close rates; tracked performance via GovClose CRM to align with DoD quotas, mirroring mission-critical targeting from Afghanistan deployments.
  • Contract Winning & Relationship Building: Mastered proactive engagement with program offices (e.g., influencing requirements via RFPs and GSA schedules without TS access); honed presentation skills for decision-maker meetings, drawing on combat leadership to deliver persuasive pitches that secure subcontracts in weapons sustainment and federal training.
  • Digital Authority & Consulting Launch: Optimized LinkedIn for veteran-DoD networking; crafted B2B email strategies and proposals to launch a niche consulting practice in non-classified defense advisory—enabling recurring revenue streams or transitions to roles like Federal Sales Executive at primes (e.g., Lockheed Martin support vendors).
  • Outcomes: Equipped to drive $20 million in government revenue through methodical sales frameworks; graduates like me consistently land high-value DoD clients/positions, outperforming peers by 2x in contract wins.
