In this powerful episode, we sit down with Wallace Sermons, the first Black Chief Procurement Officer for the State of Maryland, to explore his incredible journey from an Army brat to a trailblazer in the world of procurement and government contracting.
Wallace shares:
- His path from the Air Force to entrepreneurship and ultimately procurement leadership
- The challenges minority-owned businesses face, with less than 1.3% of federal spending going to Black businesses
- Practical strategies for engaging with Procurement Center Representatives, Apex Accelerators, and Small Business Development Centers
- Tips for leveraging state-level liaisons to break into government contracts
This inspiring conversation is part of our Invest Fest 2024 Special Series, where we highlight trailblazers across industries.
