About me
Abraham Xiong began his entrepreneurial journey by starting a retail comic book and baseball card shop. A few years later, he sold everything he had to become a missionary in Thailand. Upon returning to the US, he worked in corporate America to discover that the traditional corporate ladder was not a fit for him. He decided to venture out and start an office furniture business. With a $300 investment, he bootstrapped the company and grew it to amassed $10 million in inventory. He sold that business and became a real estate investor.
In real estate, he started an investment company, mortgage company, training company, and construction company where they renovated and built custom homes.
When he discovered government contracting, he entered the B2G market and ultimately, his success led him to become an industry expert. After seeing the inequalities and challenges that small businesses were facing, he founded the Government Contractors Association. This organization has trained over 15,000 companies and helped them to win over $2 billion in awards. For his advocacy and economic justice work for the small business community, he was awarded President Obama's Lifetime Achievement Award, Governor Kemp’s Outstanding Georgia Citizen Award, Georgia Goodwill Ambassador, and Global Humanitarian Award.
With a passion to change the disparities for small businesses in the government marketplace, he co-founded GovGenie as a social CRM and marketing automation SaaS platform. Mr. Xiong created the GovFastTrack software, 5-P Government Contracting Success Formula, and the Certified Capture Manager (CCM™) Professional Certification Program.
As a blockchain enthusiast, he Co-Founded the Blockchain Chamber of Commerce and is the emeritus Chairman. He has inspired thousands of newbies to adopt blockchain and cryptocurrency into their organizations and investment portfolios.
Mr. Xiong attended the University of Georgia and graduated from Shorter University with a B.S. in Management and a Minor in Leadership. He is married to a wonderful supportive wife who is the mother of his two amazing kids.
