Nathan Kitt

Owner and Group CEO, Newport Medical Solutions Group

Newport Medical Solutions Group includes First Choice Diagnostic Co. and Jem Health. Nathan has had direct visibility of Stuart's work supporting both businesses since 2023 across competitive tenders at local, state, national and trans-Tasman levels.

"Prior to engaging Stuart, tendering was not a successful channel for our business - we lost almost every tender. Since 2023, this has materially changed. In 2025, First Choice Diagnostic Co. achieved a 78% tender win rate, reflecting a significant uplift in performance."

"We engage Stuart on an as-needed basis, sometimes for just two or three days a month when a tender arrives. The quality of our tender responses has improved significantly, leading to key wins. Stuart has also created new tender artefacts, which are stored in our Bid Library. This will both maintain quality and reduce time to prepare future bids."

"Based on our experience, Stuart's methodology demonstrates that well-structured, strategically positioned submissions can win on their own merits, without reliance on existing relationships."

Regional Commercial Operations Director, General Electric

"Stuart was our leading Bid Manager in the APAC region, responsible for managing the largest and most complex cross-border and international software opportunities, transactions, and negotiations. He also successfully built and led an operation for smaller, high-volume deals with robust reporting and metrics. With improved win rates in mind, Stuart spearheaded the development of a globally adopted Win Strategy facilitation process. After nearly ten years at GE, we were sad to see him go but wish him well in his future endeavours."

"Stuart was the Bid Manager for a complex and strategically important transport bid. The program required coordination of internal resources alongside dedicated teams from three major partners, with a combined workforce of around 50 people. Stuart developed and executed a bid plan, managing a large, fast-moving team spread across multiple organisations and time zones. He has extensive experience leading major bids, including a strong command of blue-chip bid governance processes. He anticipated challenges and ensured all governance obligations were met while maintaining delivery momentum. The submission was delivered on time and to a high standard."

Eric Reese

Managing Director Americas, Vix Technology

"There is no question that Stuart's professionalism is of the first quality. Easy examples are highlighted in his bid and capture manager strategies and tactics. With an eye towards win strategies from the earliest possible moment, he has an in-depth process for driving win strategy on the deals and projects that matter most. This capability has produced many wins over the last three years. I have no hesitation in recommending him to companies looking to upskill their bidding or win strategy capabilities."

Richard Bridel

Head of Commercial and Sales Operations, Vix Technology

"Stuart was brought into our business for a full-time engagement spanning a year, during which he managed key bids with excellence. He significantly improved our Tendering and Sales Operations processes and ran our Sales Operations for a period. Stuart played a crucial role in adopting HubSpot CRM, eventually becoming our HubSpot owner. His contributions vastly improved our Win Strategy capabilities, requiring both morning and evening commitments to support our global operations."
