What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Being an APMP Fellow is a great honor because my colleagues are so talented and accomplished.

What's your best memory from attending an APMP event?

The opportunity to meet so many bright and successful proposal professionals and to learn from them.

What advice do you have for a proposal professional entering our field?

Argue as if you are absolutely right, and listen as if you are absolutely wrong.

Anything else you would like to share?

Proposal development is an exciting and rewarding field, and I enjoy working with a wide variety of people from around the world.

This topic, Executive Summaries, is way underrated. The Executive Summary is the most eye-catching document, which almost everyone on the customer side reads. Yet, in most bid teams, we don’t dedicate the attention it deserves. I want to learn about something I can immediately put into practice at my workplace, which provides a “quick win” to the team and is a long-term benefit for the company.

Without APMP, I would not have the tools or knowledge of the industry to have the career I have today and the success I have experienced.

APMP certification is the gold standard for the industry. For me, accreditation is formal recognition of my commitment to the profession, as well as an avenue for improving my performance and bid outcomes by training in APMP principles.
