I am a growth strategist and consultant with 25+ years of global experience helping technology-driven companies expand into new markets. My background spans healthcare IT, aerospace & defense, public health, and training & simulation, with a proven track record leading business development, capture management, and go-to-market strategy.
As Acting Chief Growth Officer at Robbins-Gioia, I guided $100M+ pursuits and implemented enterprise-level BD processes. Earlier in my career at SAIC and DLH, I led major CDC and DoD programs in public health IT and simulation. Now, through my consulting firm Cresient LLC, I serve as a Fractional Chief Growth Officer, helping small and mid-sized businesses improve pipelines, optimize Salesforce/GovWin integrations, and position for government and international opportunities.
Achievements include:
• Led captures and BD efforts that resulted in 9-figure contracts across federal health and defense sectors.
• Implemented growth frameworks (Shipley, CRM integrations, AI tools) that improved PWIN and pipeline visibility.
• Trusted advisor to executives navigating expansion into U.S. Government and international markets.
I specialize in driving growth at the edge of innovation — supporting companies that want to compete smarter, scale faster, and win more.More...
