Helping Secure the Federal Government Against Cyberthreats

The nonprofit Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), founded in 1939, is the world's largest aviation membership organization. AOPA's 400,000-plus members comprise the majority of all pilots and aircraft owners in the United States. In addition to ensuring that General Aviation remains safe, fun, and affordable, AOPA works with government and business leaders to protect GA's contribution to the U.S. economy and the vital role it plays in the daily lives of all citizens. Headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, the association is home to some 205 dedicated employees and has an annual budget of $60 million. Three words summarize AOPA's mission: Advocacy, Education, and Information.

I am a certified PMP that is seasoned as client facing Account Executive, providing superior service to my customers through in-depth technical offerings closely catered to meet the needs of my clients. Majority of my success has been through my ability to develop a level of trust, and consistently monitoring the health of my client’s relationship. I possess a keen understanding of business acumen, making conversations cohesive from the C-Suite to Program Delivery. One of my many strengths include time management enabling the prioritization of initiatives efficiently, thus, allowing me to work on large opportunities and smaller one simultaneously. I am well versed in the business development and federal procurement process, with experience as both a prime and subcontractor. I have served many roles in positions, with the goal of being a team player. Some of which include but not limited to; transactional sales, business development, capture, pricing, proposal coordination and proposal solutions. I ensure that opportunities are ready for gate reviews and the direction of our strategic alignment creates the greatest probability win (p/win). To me, it is necessary to shape the opportunity ahead of any Request for Proposal (RFP) I operate my business with a high level of energy to keep everyone engaged. I also create multiple touch points, making sure our team is aligned with the customer’s objectives. I am a firm believer that networking is the key to developing business. I work diligently both internally and externally to ensure all opportunities are fully exploited. The past 6 years I have spent reporting to executive management and held pronounced leadership roles in my organization. I conduct Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to the CEO to ensure business alignment. These presentations are briefed via power point and flow charts to give high level understanding.
