VP, Client Relationships, Aliff Solutions
17+ years experience
Background
Sumera Khan is Vice President of Client Relationships at Aliff Solutions, where she leads client engagement, onboarding, and account management across the firm's GovCon advisory portfolio. With 17 years of experience in international banking, government finance, and procurement, Sumera brings a unique perspective that bridges the financial analysis side of federal contracting (pricing, wrap rates, cost-volume strategy) with the operational realities of running multi-agency programs.
Her background in international banking informs Aliff's approach to financial modeling and pricing — particularly for firms transitioning from commercial work into federal contracting where indirect cost rate structures, DCAA compliance, and wrap rate optimization are unfamiliar territory.
Sumera leads the onboarding process for new Aliff clients, ensuring engagement scope, deliverables, and success metrics are clearly defined before work begins. She also manages ongoing client relationships and serves as the executive sponsor for strategic accounts.
