Public Business Sector: A New Adventure with Great Success

In 2020, I embarked on a new venture in the public business sector, achieving remarkable success in a short period. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I successfully secured and executed a significant contract, supplying $10 million worth of PPE to various US state-level governments. This experience not only showcased my ability to navigate complex government procurement processes but also highlighted my capability to manage large-scale supply chains under challenging conditions.

Building on this success, in 2022, my company was awarded a prestigious framework agreement valued at €12 million with the Estonia Defence Investment Center. Over the next four years, we will be supplying essential military uniforms to the Estonian Ministry of Defence. This achievement underscores our expertise in meeting the stringent requirements and high standards of government contracts, further solidifying our reputation in the public sector.

With professional experience and proven success in the public business sector, I am well-equipped to assist capable companies or manufacturers in securing and growing their public sector business. My strategic insights and robust network enable me to drive sustainable growth over the next two decades, ensuring consistent and reliable success in this dynamic field.
