Dennis Fitzgerald
President/CEO
Dennis Fitzgerald founded the company in 1992 which has become the only graphic design firm that covers the bid and proposal market exclusively. Dennis built his business management skills from scratch, focusing on the basics of sales, finance, marketing, recruiting, HR, and accounting.
He attributes much of his success to learning by “failing forward.” If it had not been for mentoring relationships with successful entrepreneurs like his dad, business-savvy colleagues, and members of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), it could have been disastrous!
Dennis is an active member or the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) and the National Capital Area (NCA) Chapter.
