Our Story

The Origin of Former Gov

Former Gov was first imagined over a year ago by a former federal employee who simply couldn't find the former government expertise he needed, even with his vast network of professional connections. It's been built to ensure that businesses and individuals who seek particular former government expertise can now find it.
