Proposal Finance & BD | Grant Strategy | SROI & Data Analytics
I've supported about 300 proposals worth $2.2B in opportunity value, priced bids from $150K to $350M, and built the data models and SROI analyses that show what the funding delivered. Former DAI Senior Pricing Manager with field experience in Haiti, Mali, Kenya and Bangladesh. I work in English, French, Spanish and Italian. Most consultants handle one piece: the writing, the budget, or the evaluation. I connect all three. The proposal wins because the numbers hold up, and the program keeps its funding because the results are measurable.
