TYSONS CORNER, VA, October 27, 2020 — ArchIntel is honored to present the 32nd in a series of interviews with Competitive Intelligence and GovCon executives who share their insights about creating and sustaining a competitive advantage.

Fred Avila, director of price to win at Alion Science and Technology, discusses how he applies competitive and customer intelligence to his current role and why a strategy of “customer intimacy” is key to driving business success.

“The bottom line is: ‘who are the consumers of a competitive intelligence report?’ They’re the leaders and the decision makers of the company or a business unit, so you must pinpoint what matters to them, which is the ‘so what.’
