Mission

FortisOBM helps service businesses grow with strategy, structure, and stronger systems so they can increase revenue, improve performance, and pursue the right opportunities with confidence.

Vision

We envision a future where growth-minded businesses are no longer held back by scattered operations, unclear positioning, or inconsistent revenue. Instead, they lead with clarity, operate with intention, and build companies that last.

What We’re Building

FortisOBM is building toward a bold goal: helping clients secure $15 billion in contract wins by 2030.

We do that by helping businesses strengthen their foundation, improve how they pursue opportunities, and grow with greater focus, stability, and long term value.

Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Our Approach

FortisOBM partners with firms in construction, engineering, professional services, consulting, IT, manufacturing, and healthcare to strengthen internal proposal operations and improve pursuit outcomes.

We work alongside marketing and business development teams to build systems that make transitions smoother, onboarding faster, and pursuits more strategic.

In high stakes pursuits, we step in as senior level leadership inside the process so your internal team can stay focused and your submission stays on track.

Meet Our Founder

FortisOBM was founded by Melinda Colón, a strategist with two decades of experience helping established service firms compete for and win complex government and enterprise opportunities.

Melinda’s work sits at the intersection of positioning, pursuit strategy, and proposal execution, because great companies don’t lose due to effort. They lose when decisions happen late, messaging sounds like everyone else, and the pursuit process becomes reactive.

FortisOBM is the execution arm of the business, built for leaders who need senior-level pursuit leadership that protects deadlines, reputation, and internal capacity. (Training and coaching are available through a separate division.)

Through FortisOBM, teams have supported $5.8B+ in contract value with a 74% win rate across strategic pursuits. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
