About

I know GovCon
from the inside.

Not as a vendor. As an operator — managing programs, portfolios, and people for over 17 years.

Built from the
mission up.

I didn't come to consulting from IT. I came from the inside of government contracting — managing operations, programs, and portfolios for defense firms where the stakes are real and the reporting obligations are serious.

Over 17 years at Valiant Integrated Services, I built the systems, processes, and reporting pipelines that kept programs running and leadership informed. I've managed portfolios exceeding $700M in value, led cross-functional teams, and built automation solutions that turned weeks of manual work into hours.

Along the way, I realized something: most GovCon firms are overpaying outside vendors for M365 work their own teams could own — if they had the right architecture and the right training. That gap is exactly what Tamara Cook Analytics was built to close.

I bring an MBA in Organizational Leadership, PMP certification, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt to every engagement — plus an active Secret Clearance and firsthand knowledge of what it actually takes to run a defense contracting operation. My clients don't get generic solutions. They get systems built by someone who's sat in their seat.
