Navigating Government Contracts: Mick McKeown

Mick is a successful, battle-tested political operative turned entrepreneur and business coach. Shortly after receiving his master’s degree from George Washington University, Mr. McKeown worked for a local 501(c)3 before joining the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). At DHS, Mr. McKeown’s assertive approaches and his passion for social advocacy earned him the role of Executive Director of the Homeland Security Advisory Council and Campaign Office. In this role, he became a leading international voice supporting the efforts of the private and public sectors to end human trafficking. Working extensively with both Congress and the executive branch to help end trafficking, Mr. McKeown created the BeCyberSmart campaign and oversaw the rebranding of the “If you See Something, Say Something” campaign.
