Executive Spotlight: GovCon Expert Alan Chvotkin of Nichols Liu on GovCon Confidence Index Study, Acquisition Regulations & Firm’s Growth Efforts
Author: Christine Thropp|| Date Published: April 7, 2022
Alan Chvotkin, partner at Nichols Liu and member of Executive Mosaic’s GovCon Expert program, was featured in the most recent Executive Spotlight interview with ExecutiveBiz on Wednesday. He discussed the firm’s growth initiatives, the policy changes in acquisition regulations concerning the government contracting sector and the findings of the ‘Government Contractor Confidence Index’ study he co-wrote.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Chvotkin about market opportunities for Nichols Liu:
“In addition [to helping businesses shape their contract portfolios], Nichols Liu is expanding our role in cybersecurity, especially around compliance efforts for our clients. For companies that already have some of those capabilities, we are keeping them up to date on the regulatory changes, such as [the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification] program, including the evolution from the first version of CMMC to now CMMC 2.0.
We’re also expanding our work around mergers and acquisitions. These are core areas where a lot of companies profess to have more expertise than they actually do. There’s already a lot of activity in the M&A market and it’s growing significantly. Many of the larger IDIQ information technology contracts are also growing both in size and complexity. It’s a huge challenge and opportunity to help these companies sort through all of that from a strategic business approach.”
