Bio
I am a Bid Writer at CGI, a Global Technology business. I joined in November 2023 after a background in BD, marketing and 15 years as a self-employed copywriter and ghost writer. Since joining CGI, I have worked on bids in utilities, telecoms, public safety and government. Initially skeptical about AI’s place in bidding, I am now a confident advocate and AI tool champion as well as somewhat opinionated on the importance of “human-led AI”, brand voice and good writing principles. My role takes me into capture, stakeholder engagement, writing, AI and joining up with marketing to align bids with campaigns. I'm excited to be a part of the APMP Bid Writing Focus group to raise awareness of, and interest in, bid writing as a career.
