Capture strategy questions for global major procurement pursuits

Experience in the area

I am a recognized strategist in the defense marketing community and have one of the best win/loss records in the industry. I have held senior marketing positions in a number of Fortune 500 companies including General Electric, Gould and Singer. After retirement I started my own consulting company which specializes in “turn around” situations. My clients are companies who were once leaders in their markets but have fallen out of grace and are in a downward business spiral. I have proven success record in providing the requisite assistance that enabled my clients to return to the market leadership position they once enjoyed.
