About
OKumen is the consultancy of John O'Keeffe, a career finance leader in government contracting.
John O'Keeffe, Founder and Principal
I've served as CFO and Director of Finance at federal contractors ranging from small businesses to large defense and services firms, managing an annual P&L of up to $280 million and leading finance teams of up to 14 people.
I've redesigned indirect rate structures that lifted profitability, priced more than $400 million in winning contracts, options and extensions, including a single $169 million award, and walked away from the work that lost money.
I trained in mathematics and actuarial science. When you engage OKumen, you work with me directly.
