Guest: Shamika Minisee
Shamika serves as a Contracting Officer for the United States Government. She aided in developing requirements with responsibility for contract negotiations, execution, and contract administration and production management activities needed in acquiring major equipment types, extensive technical/commercial services, and research and development programs for weapon systems and/or other equipment/components of like complexity.
She also serves as the Vice President and Founding Member of Presidential Concrete LLC, a full service concrete contracting company. She is responsible for business development, networking, branding the business and overseeing all projects.
Over the years the company has partnered with and completed projects for Alabama A&M University, Progressive Union Missionary, Baptist Church, Empire Fitness, University of Alabama Huntsville, Oakwood University, Audi Huntsville, Madison County Commission and Dollar General just to name a few.
Prior to joining the US Army as a civilian she worked in the contracts arena for just about 7 years managing, negotiating and administering contracts at companies like Computer Sciences Corporation, Westar Aerospace & Defense Group and Ameriquest Mortgage Company, Corporate Division.
She developed an interest in this field because of the service and law components. She likes the versatility that procurement and acquisition brings, i.e. negotiations, kick off meetings, building relationships and building the contracts.
Lastly, she’s partnered with an International Health & Wellness Company and our goal is to help every family create a safer environment for their children and their home overall. Her team is a group of committed business owners, individuals with a passion for helping others succeed.
They are dedicated to helping others start and run successful businesses from home, and, at the risk of sounding boastful, her team has been quite successful hitting that goal, thus the reason for her peaked interest in business overall.
She’s been a resident of Huntsville for approximately 19 years now and am growing to love it. Her strengths and skills include mastering complex projects, exemplary planning and organizational skills, along with a high degree of detail orientation.
She holds a bachelors degree in Business Administration and Management Information Systems from Alabama A&M University as well as a Masters in Management & Acquisition/Contract Management from Florida Institute of Technology, Level III Certified in Contracting, Program Level I Certification, and Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification. Memberships include: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, diversity leadership colloquium board member, sickle cell consortium National Board member, The Community Free Dental Clinic Board member Past board membership: North Alabama Sickle Cell Foundation, Progressive Union CDC, and North Alabama Kidney Foundation
