Strategic Proposal Support for High-Stakes Contracts
I provide senior level proposal management and leadership services that help organizations compete effectively for complex public and private sector opportunities. Drawing on 15 years of bid leadership and 30 years of industry experience, I offer services on a project basis or as embedded, fractional support tailored to your specific growth goals.
1
Bid Direction and Proposal Leadership
I provide end to end leadership for complex proposals, from initial strategy and kickoff through to final submission. I manage timelines, technical contributors, and rigorous quality control to ensure your response is cohesive, evaluator focused, and positioned to win.
This service is ideal for organizations that:
-
Are responding to high-stakes Federal, Provincial, or enterprise RFPs.
-
Need a single point of senior accountability for a $100M+ pursuit.
-
Want to reduce internal strain while significantly improving submission quality.
2
Strategic RFP Compliance and Scoring Optimization
I offer strategic guidance to shape how your organization responds to an RFP, moving beyond simple compliance to focus on scoring maximization. This includes the development of win themes, response structures, and the integration of modern requirements like Indigenous Procurement Policy Alignment (IPPA).
This service helps teams:
-
Interpret complex mandatory requirements with forensic accuracy.
-
Align responses to specific 2026 evaluation criteria and scoring matrices.
-
Secure high marks in Social Value and community impact categories.
3
Human-Driven Proposal Writing and Strategic Editing
I provide clear, persuasive writing and editing that reflects your unique strengths. In a market flooded with generic, AI generated content, I focus on authentic, high quality narratives that improve evaluator usability and prove your organizational capacity.
This service can include:
-
Full section writing and executive summary development.
-
Strengthening existing technical drafts to ensure they resonate with business evaluators.
-
Translating complex technical specifications into clear, value-based language.

Proposal Systems and Capability Building
I design and improve proposal processes that scale as your organization grows. This includes building custom content libraries, social value repositories, and review structures that allow your team to identify gaps and respond more consistently and efficiently.
This service is well-suited for organizations that:
-
Respond to RFPs regularly and want to stop reinventing the wheel.
-
Seek to build internal proposal capability and institutional knowledge.
-
Want to decrease the cost of pursuit through streamlined workflows and templates.
5
Fractional or Embedded Strategic Support
I offer ongoing or time-bound proposal leadership integrated directly into your team. This flexible, fractional model provides you with experienced, director level expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Common use cases include:
-
Managing periods of high proposal volume or overlapping deadlines.
-
Providing interim leadership during organizational growth or transitions.
-
Serving as a long-term strategic advisor for 1 to 3 high-value clients.

How I Collaborate: A Methodical Approach to Winning

My approach is collaborative, practical, and built on 30 years of operational experience across numerous industries. I focus on helping your team perform at its best while I lead the strategic and compliance requirements of the pursuit.

Strategic Discovery: We begin by identifying the evaluator’s core needs and your organization’s unique win themes.

Rigorous Scoping: I define clear milestones and accountabilities to ensure no requirement is missed.
