Being a Better Business Partner: Insights from Former Contracting Officers

Description:

Commercial firms have significant leeway with who they choose to do business with, and it is in the government's interest to be an attractive business partner. In this panel discussion, former contracting officers-turned private sector executives will share their perspectives and lessons learned on managing/negotiating government contracts. They will also share reflections on what they wish they had known when they were negotiating contracts for the government. Moderated by Ms. Cherissa Tamayori, Director of Acquisitions at DIU.
