Government & public sector.
Competitive procurement, documented outcomes — city, county, and agency engagements from Portland to San Francisco.
Public agencies buy through procurement, not through pitch decks. The practice was selected through a competitive RFQ (San Francisco Department of Public Health) and a competitive RFP (Portland City Auditor).
Dante D. King also held senior in-house roles inside city government, separate from the practice’s client engagements. At SFMTA he authored the agency's first Racial Equity Action Plan, across 6,000 employees. At the City and County of San Francisco he designed citywide implicit bias training for 20,000+ employees, including SFPD.
