Judy Bradt is Principal & CEO of Summit Insight.
What I do
I support clients who want strategy, advice and ideas to bring innovative products and services to the world’s biggest buyer: the U.S. government:
- As teaming partner, supplier or prime contractor
- To military, civilian or homeland security agencies
- In Federal, State or Local Governments
I delight my clients by delivering everything I promise and more than you imagined.
I consult, speak, write and teach for individual companies and groups American, Canadian and global -- who want to know:
- How to decide whether government contracts fit your business
- How to develop government marketing strategies
- Where to find niche opportunities
- What top teaming partners are looking for, and how to attract them
- When GSA Schedules are and aren’t good for you
- How to leverage your clients and connections into new contracts
- What you can do RIGHT NOW to make progress.
How I work
- With integrity: I only take on a client engagement if I can help you achieve your goals.
- With a focus on goals: Your objectives drive our engagement. That’s always where we begin.
- With commitment: I give everything I've got to your project -- including getting done on time and on budget.
- With partners: I love to collaborate. If I know other experts whose work complements mine, I’ll refer you to them, so you get the best results possible. And with a special focus on serving woman-owned businesses.
