Team
The B2G Victory team is as diverse as our expertise. We have thought leaders in proposal management, certifications, contracting, procurement, proposal, grant and technical writing, capacity building, and connecting.

Julie Irvin Hartman
EMBA, CF, APMP, Co-Founder
“Never enter a verbal agreement”
As unique as every curl on her head, Julie’s expertise includes procurement/government contracting, marketing/design, business strategy, and community outreach. She empowers companies to harness their strengths, cover some things that are standing in their way, exceed their goals, drive operational excellence, and increase profitability. As a certified proposal manager and recent MBA graduate, Julie has used her skills to maintain an 87%-win rate for her clients, resulting in $5 billion in contract awards globally.
You can find Julie passionately developing a business strategy mid-flight, brainstorming the next seminar while walking Adele, and skiing down a double black diamond every chance she gets. Focused on the greatest impact, her voracious mind is always asking why not and pushing boundaries in everything she does, which makes her a perfect part of the “Sulie” leadership team.
Susan M. Repka
Co-Founder
“Your Certification Expert”
Having done more site visits than the fire marshal, Susan has worked with businesses of all types and sizes. After more than 15 years serving female entrepreneurs, Susan wields experts’ knowledge of certification, supplier diversity, and the ins and outs of countless industries.
Whether cheerleading at one her grandkid’s events, or for the success of her clients (and friends!), or serving on the board of Focusing Families, Susan’s passion for people comes through in all she does. Her deep roots in the community, rich career, and genuine desire to see others succeed make her the perfect half of the “Sulie” leadership team.
Emily Kelley
Project Manager
“Where design and details meet, there is magic!”
Emily is a lover of details, a good process, and has built a career organizing her way through client projects, non-profit events, and community development initiatives. She’s an expert wrangler, whether it be of her colleagues, clients, pets, or her tiny engineering toddler. She can often be found with a really hot cup of coffee making lists while listening to a podcast, hosting friends and family in her meticulously decorated home, or hiking through nature. As B2G Victory’s Project Manager, she sorts all the puzzle pieces, keeping our projects and our people on track, on time, and in harmony.
Bella Skrbirch
Marketing Coordinator
“Better to have and not need, than need and not have”
Bella maximizes her fresh perspective as a recent college graduate in her role as B2G Victory’s Marketing Coordinator. Having been a nomad all her life, moving around countries and states, Bella does not know the meaning of “settling”. She will always search out and create the best there is to offer. She edits copy lightning quick, fabricates gorgeous layouts, and has a keen eye for market trends. Her motivation to seek information and love of conducting industry research equips her team with tactical and strategic plans. She helps B2G Victory and their clients find the tools to share their stories and give voice to those who do meaningful work in the government contracting space.
