“Joy and her team get it—and if you've worked in this space, you know that's rarer than it should be. They're straightforward, mission-focused, and understand the nuances of working with military leaders and the companies trying to solve big problems. They do their homework, speak both government and industry without needing a translator. Their civilian expertise bridges gaps that frankly, a lot of people can't. Knowing this team, it's evident they care about the mission, not just the meeting.”
“Partnering with Distinctive Edge Partners accelerated the growth of our company. Their strategic insight, deep federal expertise, and hands-on support transformed our U.S. expansion. In less than six months, they built our presence in the United States from the ground up, helping us secure contracts, advocates, and visibility at the highest levels. Working with Distinctive Edge Partners has been a true game-changer for our company.”
"From identifying the most impactful venue, to helping secure and manage industry-leading speakers and curating the perfect audience fit, Marcella and her team did an outstanding job with our Future of DoD Innovation event at SXSW. The event we put on was by far our biggest as a company. They turned what would have been an overwhelming and stressful process into a well-run and efficient experience that produced impact for our company and the industry as a whole."
