Perhaps, my diverse background (including much breadth/depth in marketing, business
development & opportunity shaping for services/solutions + special situation operations support)
would work well with requirements you, or others you know, have. Also, the stats are solid in
patience, flexibility, resourcefulness and a full measure of a sense of humor. And, a track
record of robust revenue streams, internal+external relationships plus leadership. Contacts are
ample, with a long-established network of key contacts/influencers. As of 1 Nov, I have
relocated to MA from DC, though wide open to the right situation(s), anywhere….deployable
full or part time, employee or contract.
This is an actively employed, retired (2005) not rusted, Navy Captain and seasoned executive
with established companies and new ventures. I seek a senior position requiring an articulate,
resourceful, well-connected pro and a TS Clearance. I have a natural affinity for business
development and shaping key opportunities … critical thinking, competitive problem solving +
practical-judgment decision making.
My work has a reputation and capacity to drive revenue with the private and government sectors
…to build a firm’s awareness, recognition and business with the most demanding clients. I am
well qualified in leadership, judgment, strategy, international affairs, business development and
technology...in government/military/ IC/security, law enforcement/emergency management,
commercial, consumer, logistics/infrastructure & facilities development, energy, industrial and
medical sectors as well as professional services.
I am considering best-fit business development opportunities ….plus want MUCH more personal
and professional satisfaction, utilizing the full bandwidth of my expertise. I want to tackle new
challenges as I capitalize on my proven abilities to maintain strong, trusting relationships with
customers while understanding their missions/requirements. A most recent IARPA award I
spearheaded led to a last quarter $6Mil contract, the division’s first ever IARPA program.
Captured, as part of the BD group, $30M in bookings. I will jump start your level of
competitiveness and generate significant, sustained sales and profits…to realize aggressive goals
and objectives.
My Mettle: Hands-On Practicality! Absolute integrity • Superior communication skills • A desire
to work hard and independently in an accountable environment • A personal and work history
that shows discipline, initiative, creativity and a very strong intellect • A proven capacity to
understand and present complex material • The ability to work well under pressure.
I have the breadth of experience, expertise, wisdom from winning (and losing) + solid package
of skills & contact networks (current & active). I realize great satisfaction from what and how I
deliver ...to take a product/service to a higher level of impact and seizing opportunities with
existing and new customers/markets… It happens on my watch!
I look forward to talking.
