Lek B.

Proposal Manager

Proactive proposal leader with over twelve years of experience managing proposals across Fortune 500 corporations and small enterprises, spanning Cultural Resource Management (CRM), A/E/C, and technology and advisory industries, with clients across the federal, public, and private sectors. Track record includes securing projects valued at over $46 million within the first year of employment, and building proposal departments and processes from the ground up that drive efficiency and revenue growth — most recently supporting a national technology and advisory firm's proposal function, including AI-assisted workflows. My background in Multidisciplinary Arts and Creative Writing complements this business expertise, bringing storytelling and design thinking to proposal development that produces not just compliant submissions, but clear, compelling ones. I bring strategic thinking, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to leading proposals from concept through submission.
