Ken Bloch

Ken joined EMDC in September 2015 as the statewide Program Manager of the Maine Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), part of a national program that helps small businesses sell to all levels of the government. He has used his almost thirty years of experience in defense procurement and program management to steadily grow that program, tripling the number of full-time counselors supporting Maine businesses. He is a twice elected member of the board of directors of the national PTAC association as well as a member of the Bangor Area Recovery Network (BARN) board of directors. He was born in Maine, but grew up in the Boston area, and lived and worked all over the world, before finally moving back to Maine in 2007.
