In this conversation, David Blackburn is joined by Blake Harvey, the newly announced President of Red Team Consulting, one of the most trusted institutions in the GovCon market. Blake has been with Red Team since 2018, rising through the ranks and helping shape how contractors approach business development, capture, and long-term growth.

In his new role, Blake is leading day-to-day execution while helping guide the firm’s strategic direction at a moment when the federal market is changing fast.
This episode dives into Red Team’s leadership transition, what Blake is seeing across the GovCon landscape right now, and how contractors should be thinking about growth, resilience, and positioning as we head deeper into 2026.
