About Sarah Deane
Proposaling is my superpower.I love proposaling. So much so that I trademarked “Proposaling” — the art of crafting unique, compelling, and winning proposals.This isn’t a job to me. It’s a craft. I live and breathe strategy, competition, and the precision it takes to win. Over the course of my career, I’ve led and shaped proposal strategies that have secured almost a hundred billion dollars in IDIQ and competitive contract awards across federal, defense, and public sector markets.I specialize in turning complex responses into criteria-driven content that wins. I lead high-performing pursuit teams, incorporate capture strategies into the content, and bring structure and clarity to even the most chaotic proposal environments, including when subject matter experts are unavailable or unresponsive. I have a proven ability to curate persuasive, technically credible responses independently, ensuring deadlines are met and compliance never slips.I’m fiercely loyal to my clients and teams, and I show up ready for every fight with sleeves rolled up. Because when the stakes are high, that’s where I thrive.
