Represent Mission One at industry events, conferences, and networking engagements to expand visibility and brand equity.

Demonstrated track record of identifying, qualifying, and winning new business. Strong understanding of federal acquisition processes and government contracting. Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills. Self-starter with the ability to operate effectively in a lean, fast-paced small business environment.
