Jeff Duguid

Federal Market Sector Lead, RLF

Jeff Duguid’s career began with a flop. His first proposal, submitted to his parents at age 16, was rejected. Fortunately, that early setback didn’t stall his trajectory. Since then, he has developed winning strategies for pursuits on five continents, supporting both primes and subs across design and construction teams. His 360-degree view of the AEC landscape gives him an uncommon insight into what it really takes to win. Known for decoding complex federal processes and transforming technical detail into clear, compelling narratives, Jeff operates at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and structure. He blends deep industry knowledge with emerging tools, leveraging AI, data, and design thinking to help teams think smarter, move faster, and win more. As a forward-thinking leader in the proposal space, he mentors both marketers and technical staff, brings clarity to complexity, and challenges teams to rethink what a winning pursuit can be. Outside the RFP grind, Jeff prefers his weekends analog. He loves being outdoors, has a passion for antique cars (ask him about the 1917 Buick or 1924 Franklin), and rides a high-wheel bicycle from the 1880s.
