Who we work with

We partner with organizations operating at the intersection of technology and national security:

• Small-to-mid GovTech contractors ready to scale operations and win bigger contracts

• Dual-use startups navigating their first federal market entry or Series A/B growth

• Defense contractors modernizing capabilities and pursuing next-generation contracts

• Private equity and venture firms evaluating or scaling dual-use investments

• Technology companies determining if the DoD or IC will actually buy their innovation

From 50-person startups to established contractors, I bring enterprise-level operational expertise typically available only to Fortune 500 companies.

What We Do

Strategic Advisory. Operational Execution. Trusted Insight.

Capture & Contract Strategy End-to-end support for pursuing and winning federal contracts. We help shape pipeline strategy, develop win themes, align solutions to mission needs, and build capture plans that resonate with government buyers—including proposal development and submission guidance that translates complex requirements into winning submissions.

Technology Assessment & M&A Due Diligence We assess tech readiness, market fit, and value creation for investors, buyers, and sellers in the defense tech space. Our evaluations tell companies whether the DoD or IC will actually buy their innovation, and provide actionable insight for eight-figure investment decisions.

Operational Leadership & Enterprise Transformation Fractional and interim COO services for organizations requiring enterprise-level operational expertise. We provide executive alignment, crisis leadership, and scalable operating frameworks that typically free 10-15% capacity within six months.

Partnerships & Market Entry Guide teaming strategies, identify channel partners, help shape joint bids with primes and subs, and develop dual-use strategies that help commercial companies "speak defense" while exploring commercial growth opportunities.
