You don’t often hear about family businesses in government contracting. However, today we’re talking with a guest from a small, family-owned company undergoing two major transitions: breaking into the federal market and passing the leadership torch from mother to daughter.
This isn’t just a succession story; it’s a reinvention. With new opportunities come challenges: navigating complex procurement processes, meeting compliance requirements, and climbing a steep learning curve—all while leveraging a tight-knit team and years of expertise. But the real story lies at the intersection of family and business. How do you honor a legacy while forging a bold new path? And how do you lead through a changing political and economic landscape?
Join us as we unpack this family’s journey of growth, resilience, and adaptation in an ever-evolving world. This is a story about more than just business—it’s about leadership, resilience, and the courage to evolve
