From Procurement Insider to GovCon Fixer.

Meet Mick

Before I started helping businesses navigate GovCon, I was a procurement officer. That means I’ve been in the room, reviewing proposals, sitting through pitches, and watching most businesses make the same mistakes over and over again.

I know exactly how complex, confusing, and downright frustrating this system can be. And I also know how to break it down into a process you can actually use.

Pennovia is my way of leveling the playing field. I leverage the insider knowledge I gained in government to help small and mid-sized businesses cut through red tape and compete for contracts they’d otherwise never secure.

“I’ve sat on the other side of the table. I know how government agencies buy, why proposals fail, and what it takes to get noticed. That’s why I built Pennovia — to help businesses like yours stop wasting time and start landing real opportunities.”

— Mick McKeown, Founder of Pennovia
