Built from the government side of the table.
Before founding Civic Strategy Partners, I spent years as a GS-1102 Contract Specialist — most recently inside GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule program. I reviewed offers. Negotiated pricing. Audited files. Assessed compliance. I saw where contractors strengthened their position, and where they gave up leverage without realizing it.
I’ve sat in both seats: the federal 1102 and the government contractor chairs. That dual perspective is what CSP is built on.
“If you understand the challenges from both sides of the table — you can build contract position instead of just filing paperwork.”
How I work
CSP runs a limited engagement model by design. One advisor, one contract, full focus.
Engagements are advisory or white-glove. I guide your team, or I drive the work — no middle ground, no billable-hour games.
