Randi H.

I’m a senior business development strategist, proposal writer and manager with over 10 years of experience supporting small businesses and nonprofits pursuing federal, state, local, and international funding. I’ve led over 200 successful bid and grant submissions across sectors including global and public health, human capital, IT, education, logistics, and behavioral health—totaling more than $300M in contract ceiling value and over $18M in direct awards in FY2024 alone. I maintain a 64% win rate across both U.S. and international competitions, with specialized expertise in federal RFPs, grants, and international tenders. I support clients across the full lifecycle of opportunity capture, including pipeline building, market research, compliance analysis, teaming strategy, technical writing, and post-submission support. My work spans federal agencies (CDC, HRSA, NIH, DOT, DOD), state and local governments (CA, NY, TX, MD, VA, GA, PA), and global institutions (World Bank, IDB, UK GOV, CanadaBuys, CARICOM/English-speaking Caribbean). On the grant side, I specialize in NOFO-aligned submissions for public health and international development funding. Clients rely on me to design and write compliant, competitive proposals—including full technical volumes, staffing plans, past performance narratives, logic models, budget justifications, and program evaluation frameworks. I’m fluent in FAR/DFARS, Section L&M deconstruction, and GSA Schedule/GWAC strategy, and routinely support IDIQ, BPA, GWAC, and SBIR pursuits. I also bring significant experience with forming mentor-protégés, JVs, and executing subcontractor teaming arrangements.
