Haroon Haider
Founder & CEO, Aliff Solutions
20+ years experience
Background
Haroon Haider is the Founder and CEO of Aliff Solutions, the quantitative intelligence platform for U.S. federal and SLED government contracting. With more than 20 years of experience directing federal contracts and leading capture strategy across defense, civilian, and intelligence community programs, Haroon has overseen pursuits and execution on programs valued in excess of $400M.
His background spans the full federal contract lifecycle: opportunity identification, capture strategy, proposal management (Shipley methodology), color team reviews, pricing strategy, post-award execution, and program management. Before founding Aliff Solutions, he led BD and capture organizations at multiple GovCon firms and built relationships with contracting officers and program managers across DoD, VA, HHS, DHS, GSA, and intelligence community agencies.
Haroon founded Aliff Solutions to address the gap he saw repeatedly: small and mid-size federal contractors making bid/no-bid decisions on intuition rather than data, losing winnable opportunities to better-informed competitors. Aliff brings quantitative recompete prediction, incumbent vulnerability scoring, price-to-win analysis, and Bayesian win-probability scoring to firms previously priced out of enterprise market intelligence platforms.
Aliff Solutions is a subsidiary of Aliff Capital.
