About Charles Sanders: Charles is the founder and CEO of PrimeRFP, where he built SCOUT, an analyzed intelligence layer for federal and SLED capture. He got there sideways: telecom infrastructure, large-scale data operations, a CISO seat, then a CIO job where he watched his own team burn 30+ hours a week on federal leads that never fit. SCOUT answers the question that comes before every bid decision, with receipts you can trace.
