About Ben Barker
My career has been defined by one thing: driving measurable growth. At Aptive Resources, I built and led a 24-person capture, pricing, and proposal organization that delivered $191M+ in funded new business and secured positions on $37B+ in ceiling value via contract vehicles. At GovCIO, I was part of the leadership team that grew revenue from $70M to $220M and increased headcount from 150 to 700 contributing to a successful private equity transaction.I\'m a hands-on executive. I still architect solutions, write technical volumes, and coach orals teams. I believe the best growth leaders stay close to the craft because that\'s where competitive advantage lives. Core focus areas: Capture Management • Proposal Leadership • Technical Solutioning • AI/Automation in Growth Operations • Orals Strategy • M&A IntegrationRecognition: 2024 FedHealthIT100 • 2024 Engage/Elev8 GovCon Honoree • 2025 Engage FedHealth Honoree
