What Are POC Sponsors Saying?
Don’t take our word for it. Listen to Brian Kesecker, Kpler executive director for U.S. government business, a regular sponsor of POC events, a 4×24 Leadership Program member and a 2026 Wash100 Award winner. Kesecker and Kpler heavily utilize POC sponsorship because it’s helped his historically commercial company, which just entered government business in 2024, scale rapidly. The firm has achieved sustainable and productive relationships in addition to marketing visibility through Executive Mosaic’s GovCon-focused news sites and social media channels.
“We’ve seen rapid growth because of the access and the intimacy that these environments give us to have real conversations with military and intelligence leaders,” Kesecker said. “The diverse communication between Army, Navy, intel community, federal civilian, DHS [agencies] and, the broad ecosystem that POC gives us…allows us to have real conversations with the right parties, take time out of our sales cycle and help us scale.”
