In this episode of The Business of Defense, Rich Brady interviews Hailey Le, CEO and Founder of Redwood Strategy Group, about her approach to growth and expanding her firm’s services. Redwood Strategy Group is a small, woman-owned business that specializes in providing financial and IT services to federal agencies, primarily in the defense and homeland security sectors.
Le emphasizes the importance of staying focused on what the business does best rather than spreading resources too thin. She explains that by concentrating on its core portfolio of services, particularly in financial modernization and transformation, Redwood Strategy Group has been able to expand into other related areas while maintaining a cohesive and effective approach to its work. This strategic focus has allowed the company to become an integral part of initiatives such as assisting the Marine Corps in achieving the first clean audit opinion by a military service.
In an interview for the American Society of Military Comptrollers’ podcast on Federal News Network, Le shares insights into the early lessons learned while navigating the business of federal contracting. By taking a long-term view on growth and focusing on core competencies, Redwood Strategy Group has positioned itself for continued success in serving federal agencies. The company’s approach echoes the longevity of a redwood tree, suggesting that with a solid foundation and strategic vision, it may continue to thrive and evolve for years to come.
