Preparing Your Company to Handle Strategic Growth
As a GovCon business owner, you want to ensure your company has the foundation to succeed and grow but may not have the resources to invest in expensive IT systems and professional services. Preparing your company to handle that growth is key to stability and sustainability.
For this panel discussion, we have brought together experts from key fields: a Director of a DoD-funded free resource for GovCon training and advice, an industry CEO/Owner who has managed and grown a GovCon start-up into a successful mid-market business, and industry partners with over 40 years of combined experience assisting GovCon businesses in avoiding financial pitfalls, passing audits without significant investment, and financing growth.
We will cover several important areas that business owners must consider when planning for growth such as key business relationships (Customers, Bankers, Lawyers, Accountants), infrastructure investments (Personnel, Business Systems, IT and Internal Controls), and available Federal, State, and Local resources. We will follow the panel discussion with an open Q&A session – bring your toughest challenges to the table and take advantage of the panel’s collective experience.
Panelists:
- Lisa Wood, Statewide Director, Apex Accelerators
- Kristina Wilder, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Owner, Davis Defense Group
- Dan Hampton, SVP, Head of Government Contractor Banking, Bank of Clarke
- Bob Craig, Principal, Saggar & Rosenberg
