Nikki founded the Mission: Contract Ready™ System—a transformational process designed to fast-track business owners toward winning high-value government contracts in as little as 90 days. Her approach blends strategic business development, targeted marketing, and authentic relationship-building, helping her clients secure the contracts that fuel accelerated growth and lasting impact.

"I believe any Small Business Owner would be lucky (and smart) to have her professional guidance! "
Recently, I've had the distinct pleasure of connecting with Nikki. We first met at the monthly Alignable Alliance of Ventura County's SPEED Networking event. We subsequently experienced an incredibly informative Zoom session where we shared Business Coaching Strategy tips. One of the main reasons I like working with Nikki is because she has a PASSION for helping Small Business Owners successfully navigate their way out of the COVID hibernation we all experienced. Her knowledge, expertise, technical skills, and experience are a much sought-after combination as a Business Strategy Coach, and I believe any Small Business Owner would be lucky (and smart) to have her professional guidance! Please allow me to highly recommend Nikki Gianni from The Small Business Architect as your "Go-To Expert"!

"Nikki's approach to small business success sets her above the bar when compared to other offerings. Her background and experience enable her to assess your business challenges with a very logical approach and structured methodology while still retaining the ability to think outside the box to solve business challenges. She doesn't claim the "Arcitecture" label lightly, she is in fact a Solutions Architect leading from the business perspective. I am confident she will deliver if you engage with her."
