Tara also brings extensive project management background to Modus Outcomes, with experience both in support and executive positions.
Tara has worked in business development throughout her career. She has been of service to her team by coordinating them to meet client’s requests in terms of RFP submissions, timelines, and by building strong relationships with clients.

She is at the crux of the Modus Outcomes-focused business development team as she monitors the proposal process, builds meaningful relationships internally and externally, and steers the business development processes in its entirety.
