Guy is the Chief Visionary and Chief Executive Officer of The American
Small Business Coalition LLC, an organization providing a unique and
innovative membership program for companies doing business with
government agencies and government contractors. Guy and his wife
Margaret founded The American Small Business Coalition with the intent
of delivering ongoing technical and advisory support to small
businesses seeking to enter the government contracting arena, and those
seeking to grow within the industry. Since 2004, The American Small
Business Coalition, also known as The ASBC, has helped Industry and
Government to leverage the extensive network of active and retired
entrepreneurs, public servants, senior executives, military leaders and
thought-leaders, to achieve their respective organizational goals and
objectives. The basis of the membership program is to provide companies
with access to relevant information and relationships specific to
government contracting.
For over twenty years, Guy has been
involved in government programs with a focus on federal sector
initiatives and requirements. He entered the marketplace in an
operational role, providing mission-critical support to agencies of the
U.S. Intelligence Community in the areas of data acquisition and
storage, TEMPEST technologies, the manufacture of secure computer
systems and peripherals and secure communications. Guy spent his entire
career working for and with small businesses, including his own venture
in 1997, a reseller company that processed nearly one million dollars
in revenue in its first four months of existence.
His
comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of doing business in the
government sector, coupled with an established network covering both
Government and Industry, create the baseline for the support provided
to companies participating in The ASBC membership. During his time
supporting government customers, Guy has grown from an Inside Sales
Representative to an accomplished Business Development Professional,
finishing up as a Capture and Project Manager for a multi-year $70M
task under the GSA CONNECTIONS contract just prior to starting The ASBC.
Guy
serves in an advisory capacity for several small businesses and was a
member (2006 to 2008) of the Board of Directors for the Casey Cares Foundation, a
non-profit organization founded in 2000 that offers uplifting programs
for critically ill children and their families. In late 2008 he was appointed as to the Advisory Board for Tigerlily Foundation, a charitable organization providing breast cancer awareness and support programs for young women. He resides in Columbia,
MD with his wife and business partner Margaret, the President and Chief
Operating Officer of The ASBC.
In
2007, Guy was appointed to the Board of Governors at the exclusive
Tower Club at Tysons in Northern Virginia and was a nominee for the
Fifty Influential Entrepreneurs in Business award. Additionally, Guy and The ASBC have been referenced and quoted in industry publications such as FCW, Washington Technology, Federal Times and GovernmentVAR, and local, regional and national programs and publications such as Federal News Radio, Washington Business Journal, Washington Post and Inc. Magazine.
Guy was recently selected as one of twenty-five honorees named as a recipient of the Washington Business Journal 2009 Minority Business Leader Awards.
