About

As a Proposal Manager, I bring experience leading complex pursuits within the construction industry, with a focus on strategic positioning, operational excellence, and high impact proposal delivery that drives measurable results. I lead end to end proposal delivery across pursuits, RFPs, RFIs, and qualifications, driving alignment between technical teams, operations, and leadership to produce compelling, client focused submissions. My strength lies in structuring and managing complex workflows, elevating proposal quality, and ensuring consistency across all stages of the pursuit lifecycle. Beyond execution, I am focused on advancing proposal strategy by enhancing processes, strengthening cross functional collaboration, and embedding best practices that improve efficiency and win outcomes. I am particularly passionate about building high performing team, promoting a culture of accountability and creativity, and continuously refining how we approach pursuits in an increasingly competitive market.
