What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Being in the elite group of advisors responsible for shaping the Winning Business ecosystem.

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

I always wanted a BPC event to be organized within the Asian sub-continent. Having the first flagship BPC Asia event in my hometown in Mumbai in 2022 is my best memory.

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

I believe the proposal professional to be analogous to the Orchestrator of a symphony. In an orchestra, every musician is an expert. However, none can play a symphony unless led by an orchestrator. Similarly, sales, operations, and other organizational resources cannot complete a winning proposal unless led by a proposal professional. I want every proposal professional to believe this.

Anything else you want to add?

I have had a great journey with APMP since 2019. I started as an APMP India governing board member in 2019 and have been able to serve as the Chair and Past Chair of APMP India, where we saw tremendous growth and engagement, which led us to win the Stephen P Shipley Chapter of the Year Award. I have now got the honor and privilege of serving as a governing board member of the APMP HQ.

APMP has changed my professional life, elevating it to a standard that I didn’t know existed. Aside from the professional advantages of being certified as an APMP Professional, it’s the community of members who make it so special.

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.

As a sales coach, the executive summary is vital for capturing and proposing management activities. This is an excellent addition to our members' professional standing, and I look forward to many more micro certifications.

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.

The Executive Summaries Micro-Certification exam was easy to follow and clear in what was required. I found the learning materials to be very informative, and they will be a great tool to use while in the exam and for future executive summary tasks.

I never want to be complacent in my career, so it has been beneficial to have this group of peers who are going through similar trials and tribulations in the proposal world on a day-to-day basis.
