S.M.A.R.T Proposal Strategies was founded to give AEC organizations a dedicated proposal-management resource capable of supporting pursuits from initial opportunity assessment and kickoff through execution, submission, and post-submission learning.
The company’s foundation is supported by Managing Principal Melissa Di Gaetano’s 20+ years of experience in RFQ and RFP response development, client presentations, one-voice editing, comprehensive submission auditing, coloured reviews, and stakeholder coordination. That practical knowledge helps teams manage tight deadlines, maintain clear communications, and deliver work that meets the expectations of clients and evaluators.
