Your competition is already preparing. Are you winning?
We partner with global health, federal, and biopharma organizations to sharpen their competitive edge — crafting winning proposals, building BD pipelines, and leading multicultural teams from capture to award.
Most organizations already have the talent and the track record. What they lack isn’t effort — it’s a proven system to turn that record into proposals that win consistently.
Dr. Farouk Umaru brings 20+ years of federal, donor, and private-sector proposal leadership — designing win strategies, leading Pink and Red Team reviews, and building the diverse, high-performing proposal teams that deliver on deadline and outcompete the field.
Our Competitive Growth Services
Six capabilities, one goal: move your organization from opportunity identification through award — and set you up to win again next time.
We work with your BD team to identify, qualify, and prioritize opportunities — building a funded pipeline that aligns to your strategic growth goals and organizational capacity. We map the competitive landscape, assess bid/no-bid decisions, and develop your pursuit strategy early enough to matter.
We design your win strategy before the solicitation drops — analyzing the customer’s priorities, evaluating your competition, identifying your discriminators, and building the narrative that positions you to win. We conduct competitive intelligence and help you outposition the competition compliantly.
From kickoff through submission, we manage your entire proposal process — including the compliance matrix, outline development, writing assignments, color team reviews (Pink, Red, Gold), volume leads, graphics coordination, and final production. We bring structure and discipline to high-pressure deadlines.
We write and edit proposal volumes that are technically precise, evaluator-friendly, and strategically differentiated. Specializing in global health, supply chain, pharmaceutical, and public health programs, we translate complex technical approaches into narratives that score well under any evaluation criteria.
Winning a recompete takes more than strong past performance — it takes a proactive strategy built 12–18 months before the solicitation. We assess your vulnerability, strengthen your incumbent positioning, address evaluator concerns, and build the evidence base that makes your recompete proposal hard to beat.
We build and lead diverse, cross-functional proposal and program teams — spanning government, NGO, biopharma, and private-sector partners across multiple geographies. We bring the cultural intelligence, stakeholder alignment skills, and leadership experience to get complex consortia moving in the same direction, fast.
From Opportunity to Award
Our five-phase engagement model gives your organization a clear, repeatable path to winning — whether you’re pursuing a new opportunity or defending an incumbent position.
We evaluate the opportunity, your position, and the competitive landscape to make a clear bid recommendation.
We build your win strategy, develop discriminators, design teaming structures, and begin customer intelligence.
We develop your technical approach, manage writing assignments, and produce evaluator-ready volumes.
We lead color team reviews — Pink, Red, and Gold — to confirm compliance, quality, and competitive strength.
We manage final production, submission, and post-award debrief — learning from every outcome to build your next win.
What Makes Us Different
Proposal consultants are not in short supply. Consultants who have led a $5B federal pursuit, secured €50M in donor funding, managed $150M+ in career contract value, and built winning teams across 30+ countries — while still running their own practice — are.
Dr. Farouk Umaru has not just written proposals — he has implemented the programs that resulted from them. As a program director and technical leader at Amentum, Credence, and USP, he knows what evaluators look for because he has delivered on those promises himself. That operational credibility is what makes our proposals credible.
We bring direct technical depth in global health supply chains, laboratory systems, pharmaceutical quality, PEPFAR programs, and USAID/CDC/GIZ-funded initiatives. Our technical writing doesn’t read like a consultant’s best guess — it reads like someone who has run these programs, because he has.
Winning complex international awards requires building and leading diverse teams — across governments, NGOs, biopharma firms, and local partners spanning multiple continents. We bring the cultural fluency, stakeholder alignment skills, and leadership experience to hold complex consortia together under proposal pressure.
Most organizations start their recompete strategy the day the solicitation drops. We start 12–18 months earlier — building the evidence base, shaping the narrative, addressing evaluator concerns, and positioning the team to make a compelling incumbent defense. We know what it takes to keep what you’ve earned.
